The transformation
From cold-and-clammy to warm-and-dry.
Most sweatshirts trap sweat, run hot then cold, and lose their shape by month three. Here's how 300gsm merino changes that.
-
Before
Cotton sweatshirts hold sweat.
Damp on the inside by mid-morning. Cold by afternoon. Stretched out by month three.
-
The shift
300gsm merino regulates everything.
Wool fibres leave you dry and comfortable, and bounce back to shape after every wear.
-
After
Warm at dawn. Fine by lunch.
Warm without overheating. Breathes as you move. The one piece you reach for through the months.
Designed in New Zealand. Built to be worn on repeat.
Compare the lineup
Three weights. One wool standard.
Same 18.5 micron merino across the range. The difference is how heavy you want it, and how you plan to wear it.

Built for the way you live
Three reasons it earns the price.
Not warmth, not softness, not durability. All three. Made the way good clothing used to be made.
01 / Substance
The weight of something built to last.
When you put it on, it has the substance of a piece you'll keep for years, not a top you'll replace next winter. The kind of weight that hangs properly, holds its shape, and earns the price every time you reach for it.
300gsm of merino. Built to outlast a decade of winters.
02 / Rhythm
Breathes when you move. Warm when you stop.
The kind of piece you pull on at 6am and still feel good in at 6pm. It moves with you, breathes when you do, and helps regulate temperature through the kind of day that can't make up its mind.
Designed to be worn on repeat. Washed only when it's earned it.
03 / Source
Soft. Not scratchy.
Soft against the skin from the first wear. The kind of softness that makes you forget you're wearing wool at all. No itch, no scratch. Just something honest, made from something real.
18.5 micron merino. The same wool standard across our range, since 2016.

From one of ours
So good I bought 2.
Great for those cooler mornings and evenings. So good I bought 2.
Packed by hand at home.
What's included
More than a sweatshirt.
Here's what arrives, who's behind it, and how we stand behind every piece.
The Crew Sweatshirt
300gsm of merino.
One of fewer than 50 made. We make small batches because we'd rather get them right than make them often.
A New Zealand family business.
Independently run.
When you buy from us, you're supporting a family team in NZ, not a global corporation. We answer the emails. We pack the orders. We've been doing this since 2016.
Flat Rate NZ shipping. Confidence to commit.
Always a nice offer in the cart as well.
Faulty? Full refund. Change of mind? 30-day exchange or store credit. We make small batches and stand behind every one.
Questions, answered
Before you buy.
The honest answers to what most people ask us. If yours isn't here, get in touch.
How does it fit?
Relaxed and slightly boxy through the body. A deliberate cut for layering and structure. If you usually wear a medium and want a more tailored feel, size down. Our model is 6'0" and wears a Large.
Where is it made?
We use 18.5 micron merino, the same wool standard across our range since 2016. The garment is made by a trusted manufacturing partner in China we've worked with for years.
How do I wash and care for it?
Machine wash cold on the gentle or wool cycle, using wool detergent. Lay flat or line dry. Don't bleach. Treat it like a piece you want to keep for years, not seasons.
Will it shrink, pill, or itch?
It won't shrink or itch when cared for properly. At 18.5 micron, the fibres are fine enough to sit soft against bare skin. No scratch. The dense terry knit holds its shape. Wash on the wool cycle and lay flat. Like all fine merino, a little light pilling can show where bags or seatbelts rub, and it brushes off easily.
How does this compare to your other long sleeves?
The Crew Sweatshirt is our heaviest piece at 300gsm, built as an outer layer or standalone winter top. The Standard and OG long sleeves are 200gsm and work as everyday base layers. Same merino across all three; the difference is weight and how you plan to wear it. (See the comparison above.)
What if it doesn't fit when it arrives?
You've got 30 days to exchange it for the right size or take store credit. You cover return shipping; we cover the new piece coming out to you. Faulty or not as described? Full refund, always.
Is this really a small batch?
Yes. Fewer than 50 are made in each colour run, and we don't restock small batches. We make this way because at 300gsm with this wool, we'd rather get every piece right than make them often.
One last thing
The one you'll reach for. All winter.
Made in a small batch. When it's gone, it's gone. We don't restock small runs.
