A plain crewneck jersey in 100% New Zealand wool. No lining, no zip, no technical claims — just a well-made wool jersey cut slightly loose so it layers over a shirt without pulling.

This is the one that gets worn until the elbows go. It is warm when damp, it holds its shape, and it does not need washing every week because wool doesn't hold odour the way synthetics do.

A sensible first wool jersey, and a hard one to wear out.

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.
  • Fit: Relaxed, cut for layering

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the faux-suede material used for the patches?
The faux-suede patches are a specially selected synthetic material providing excellent abrasion resistance at pressure points while being easier to care for than genuine suede.
How does the Ultimate compare to the Backyard jersey?
How does the Ultimate compare to the Backyard jersey?
How does the Ultimate compare to the Backyard jersey?
Machine wash cool, gentle cycle, inside out. Lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying as heat can affect the suede patches. Do not iron directly on the patches.
Is the Ultimate suitable as a smart-casual garment?
Yes. The clean crewneck with suede patch detailing creates a refined workwear aesthetic that works well in both rural and casual settings.
