    Great cardy/jacket

    I found this jacket a bit harsher than other merino possum wool knits that I have. But to counteract that, I decided to soak it in a wool conditioner for half hour or so, to see if that would soften it, which it did. I was also able to stretch it out a bit as was a bit short and this gave it a bit more length plus it was more fitting. Now it is perfect. Really warm and looks great and I love it. Would buy another. I gave this 4 stars rather than 5 as it needed a bit of tender loving care before first wear.

    Super warm with pockets

    This is the perfect cardi for me. Pockets, nice fit (medium 12-14) Sleeves are the perfect length - mostly I have to roll the cuff on cardis but this one is great. The navy is attractive. Test drove it in icy temps and it was the perfect layer under a jacket. This is not the super light super soft possum but a bit sturdier. I’ll probably buy another. Did I mention pockets? Can’t live without them.

    ECO POSSUM WOOL SWEATER KMK ORIGINAL

    Ever since I received my MKM hoodie, I’ve been a fan of MKM Merino/Possum products. When you love something you share it with people you love, right?! So my oldest daughter is receiving a beautiful sweater. Beautiful by functional standards not the trend toward Christmas Dorky stuff or looks great and doesn’t work. MKM products are the best at keeping body temperature even. I’m from the NW of US. I presently live in Southern California and shipping from NZ was FAST … took about a week & a half. I highly recommend. I’m excited for my daughter to receive this gift!. She lives on a mountain in Oregon … it’ll be perfect!

    ECO POSSUM WOOL JACKET MKM ORIGINALS

    Soft, warm and a lovely style. I like the pockets and I'm very happy with this. I'm usually a size 12 and the medium fits me perfectly.

    Eco possum wool jacket

    Nice jacket. Loved the colour and fit. Tension tighter than previously bought similar products so not quite so soft, but that means less stretching which is good.

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.
