Create a dialogue between performance and protection for movement and rest. At the summit where the air is bracing, performance is governed by thermodynamic volatility. Merino wool’s natural resilience brings micro-climatic stability to the ascent and thermal restoration in stillness.

Engineer performance garments for activity at elevation through to restorative wear, harnessing Merino wool’s technical capabilities across the spectrum of cold weather. With fine base-layers, fleece and flat-knit sport knitwear, laminated woven shells, felted coats and noble blends, design with a curated selection of wool and wool-blend fabrics and yarns that prioritise proactive moisture management and breathability as a natural shield against the elements.

Trace the palette of winter in hematite grey, crimson pulses, boreal forest greens, ember accents and comforting neutrals in a narrative spanning performance and sanctuary in equal measure. Unfold the story of Summit and Shelter in two connected material chapters – Alpine Veins and Alpine Retreat – exploring a symbiosis of motion and pause, anchored in the prestige of Merino wool as a natural performance fibre.

MERINO WOOL JACQUARD

Engineered zonal breathability

Combine technical precision with the responsiveness of Merino wool. Utilise engineered patterns of varied density to enhance breathability, moisture dispersion and thermal control in targeted zones, providing depth, stability and active comfort in motion. Activate the wool fibre’s inherent resilience – driven by the natural crimp and protein structure of the fibre – with three-dimensional architecture that regulates temperature, maintaining balance across shifts in kinetic output.

REFINED PERFORMANCE OUTERWEAR

Wool blend shells for elevated protection

Form protective wool-blend shells for winter protection. Combine the natural performance of wool – breathability, tactile comfort and inherent resilience – with technical hybridisation through fibre blends. Integrate enhanced elasticity, dimensional stability and weather resistance with wool-blend fabrics and yarns, crafting protective coats and jackets that perform across alpine conditions with a polished silhouette. Leverage the wool fibre’s temperature regulation, moisture management and breathability, in combination with additional performance fibres, to create outer-layers that embody protection, refinement and enduring structural integrity.
