    Eco Possum Wool Jacket MKM Originals

    This is my second MKM Eco possum jacket. The first one is a few years old but still going strong despite a bit of pilling on the sides. The fabric is wonderfully warm and the design is good - casual but smart enough if required and I like the use of recycled fibres. One improvement you might consider is adding zippers to the pockets - for people like me who rarely carry handbags and keep phone, keys and wallet in their pockets. Without zippers these can fall out of the pocket. I realise you might think a zipper would encourage over-loading of the pocket and perhaps lead to some sagginess in the line of the garment, but I have had other merino garments with zippered pockets and it's not been a problem. e.g. Macpac, Kathmandu and Isobar hoodies. Apart from that small inconvenience this is a fabulous jacket and I hope you keep making them for years to come!

    A classic garment

    Beautiful practical warm easy to wear. A garment you can wear with jeans and boots. Lovely to dress up or down, very warm without bulk. Expect it to be a staple garment for winter wear.

    Think this is my favourite!

    YES, pockets!! Very happy with colour and style of this jacket. May be a little scratchy for some people but it is my new favourite. Would like to see pockets in more garments.

Features of the Eco Possum Wool Jacket

  • Eco blend composition - 60% Recycled possum & wool, 25% Natural fibres (wool/silk/angora), 15% Nylon (for strength)
  • Proudly made in Palmerston North, New Zealand

Eco blend is a MKM innovation that builds on the environmentally friendly and sustainable properties of woolen garments. When yarn is spun 'fibre fluff' is produced which was ordinarily discarded. This fibre has been collected and re-spun to create an entirely new yarn that's warm, soft and tough. Note; content varies due to the source fibre originally being spun.

Why choose Possum Merino garments?

Hollow corepossum fibre – traps a tunnel of air providing up to 55% more warmth than a 100% wool garment. Blending possum fibre with superfinemerino reduces the overall weight of a garment by up to 20%. Both possum and merino fibres have a complex cuticle, absorbing and expelling moisture vapour from both the external environment and the body microclimate in changing conditions, making the blend an ideal mix for insulating the body and maintaining core temperature. This blend is also highly resistant to pilling, and a much lower, if any, irritability factor as anyone who owns one of these durable garments can confirm.

Choosing Eco Luxury Fur helps save New Zealand plants and wildlife

New Zealand is the only place in the world that the fibre can be harvested so it remains extremely scarce on a global basis, making it the pink diamond of the eco-luxury fur world. Your choice helps drive demand for possum fibre, reducing the numbers of a pest that has a severe negative effect on native New Zealand flora and fauna, making your choice environmentally sound.

Introduced from Australia by early settlers, the numbers of brushtail possums multiplied exponentially in their non-native environment in the ideal climate with abundant food and no natural predators. Hand-gathering the fur is environmentally friendly and doesn't further endanger New Zealand's native wild life.
