The workwear half-zip in its plainest, most useful form: 100% New Zealand wool, a half zip, and a large fold-down collar that actually covers the back of the neck when the wind turns.

No lining, no blend, no technical story. Just wool doing what wool does — warm when damp, slow to hold odour, and comfortable across a wide temperature range.

A long-standing favourite on farms and building sites, and priced to be worn rather than saved.

Made by MKM Originals — knitting in Palmerston North since 1884.

  • Fibre: 100% New Zealand wool
  • Care: Cold machine wash, wool cycle. Dry flat, out of direct sun.
  • Sizes: S–3XL

Yes. The North Wester is constructed to the same heavyweight specification as the Backyard and Survival jerseys.
What makes it popular with tradies and farmers?
The combination of a practical half-zip for ventilation, the protective collar, and 100% wool durability addresses the specific needs of people working outdoors in variable NZ weather.
