This boujee wee number comes to you in collaboration with the team at Manawatu Knitting Mills and Opus Fresh.
With extra special attention taken to the finishing touches, including both a geometric mountain and shears leather patch, this luxe sweater is the perfect finishing touch to nearly any outfit.
Crafted from a blend of Possum Fur, Silk and New Zealand Merino Wool, detailed with the signature Opus Fresh organic leather patch.
Tech Specs:
Made from a 70% Merino, 20% Possum, 10% Silk blend.
The unique blend of possum fur and merino lamb’s wool creates a piling retardant fibre. Possum fur is low-pill and anti-static which means the garment can be worn throughout the years and still look as new as the day it was purchased.
Possum fibre will not freeze, even when exposed to periods of prolonged cold. The only fibre on the planet known to have the same characteristic is Polar Bear fur.
The brushtail possum was introduced to New Zealand in the 1850s and is now wreaking havoc on our natural wildlife and native forest. The need to control the number of possums to protect our native flora and fauna saw the development of this NZ exclusive, specialised natural fibre.
Possum fibre has no scales and is hollow, which gives both lightness and warmth, compared to other natural fibres of a similar micron.
Possum fibre is silky to handle providing an instant feel appeal unlike any other fibre.
The MKM boasts a 141-year tradition of creating finely crafted accessories.
Also available in a deep Ink Navy and a beautiful lilac purple.
Made in the rural heartland of Manawatu in the central North Island of New Zealand.

GENDER NEUTRAL (measure under arms - no shirt, at fullest circumference)
My favourite merino hoodie died a hard worn death a couple of years ago and my current one is looking a bit battered and stained so it was great to find a great replacement when I visited Ohakune over summer…summer being a bit of a pejorative term this time around…but warm and comfy when those rain squalls came through. Well made and it fits well. Could do with one in camo to keep myself blended with the surrounds when chasing the elusive Blue duck or more importantly to reduce the sandfly strike rate when photographing Fiordland Crested Penguin… afterall I have only so much blood and those blood suckers in Fiordland will find every bit of exposed skin!!. Great top in other words!!

Great to wear with baby
I have an 8 month old and the longer zip on this jumper means I can easily feed her and I bought a size up so can wear it over both of us while she's in the sling (on the front at least).
Really lovely quality and nice and warm!
Higher Hoodie - 100% merino
Regular price$269.00 NZD
Further, faster, stronger, higher.
Zip it all the way up ‘snug as heck’ with this mid weight 280gsm 100% Merino . This hoodie is the casual, comfort master. It looks as good as it feels with a slightly eased body compared with our other garments. It’s the apres, sit on the couch or round the fire, max and relax hoodie while still being far more formal looking than others with subtle style details (so it’s got that signature Opus cross over appeal).
The Higher Hoodie, a full zip hoodie to take you all the way.
Premium mid weight 280gsm 100% merino makes it feel like a fleece & is way warmer than its weight would suggest & about as comfortable as any garment can get.
Thickest merino garment I've found, with the softest finish on the inside - so warm!
