Hey guys, my name is James and I'd like to show you some cool high quality clothes that are perfect all year round. These clothes not only look good for everyday wear, but they also regulate your body temperature! They can keep you nice and warm and dry in winter by creating a layer of air heated from your body between you and your clothes, but also keep you cool and dry in summer by absorbing moisture and keeping it away from your skin! (No embarrasing sweat stains.) Essentially, the clothes have superior breathing properties compared to other material like cotton. Our merino fabric is also quite stretchy and wrinkle resistant and can wash easily in any machine as well.

Not all merino fabric is the same as some can be itchy, coarse and quite inferior. Australia is well known for producing the highest quality wool in the world and thats why I searched high and low to find the best Aussie merino wool quality there is.

Our merino fabric properties:

- Soft and light.
- Warm in winter.
- Cool in summer.
- Absorbs sweat.
- Absorbs odour.
- Resists wrinkling.
- Elastic.
- Anti-static.
- Fire resistant (doesnt stick to your skin!).
- Machine washable.
- Renewable and biodegradable.

At the moment we have our prototypes done, material sourced, manufacturing ready to go and packaging sorted - but need the funds to take it to the serious level. For your support you can see the high quality stuff below which we hope you'll like and enjoy (and for every dollar you contribute a smart little Aussie merino sheep will stand under a tree out of the weather to ensure its wool is even softer just for you, maybe).

Going back, the story was that I've always wanted to showcase Aussie quality and wanted to make these type of clothes a while ago because most of the merino clothes you see these days are daggy lookin' undergarments that fit right in with an 1850's western movie. But the thing was is that I knew nothing about nothing. So I got a degree and then hit the pavement looking for the right fabric, the right suppliers, the right manufacturers, right here in Australia. Now that I've found the high-grade merino fabric that I wanted, I hope to showcase why this material is so comfortable, light and bloody nice, from a true Aussie perspective, in a cool everyday style that you can actually use - every day! Although not immediately noticeable, a ton of thought has gone into little design aspects in some of the clothes as well (because we actually wanted to have these products ourselves, oh yea) and so we hope you’ll appreciate the effort and support our cause.

We also wanted to have some fun with this project, as we really would like to do this for the long haul and bring some other clothing pieces and handmade items out, so we decided to make a video that was a bit different and give you some entertainment. It's like a mini movie, but a pretty close idea of the blood, sweat and running around we had to go through to get the items made. Anyway, we hope you get a bit of a laugh out if and see that this innovative little Aussie apparel line really is worth supporting!

Thanks,
James

What’s so special about Merino wool?
Our particular Australian Merino wool is very soft as the fibres are much finer and more flexible than normal merino wool and also normal wool. It also gets softer after each wash.

Washing
Treat them like normal woollen items or delicates with a gentle machine wash. Then hang out to dry, preferably on a coat hanger or draped evenly, out of direct sunlight.

Clothing Sizes
All clothes come in S, M, L, and XL at this stage. Our merino fabric is a little stretchy so you can have one size smaller for a tight fitting, yet still be comfortable.

Embroidery Default Logo and Colour
The JW is the default logo and Gold is the default colour, if not specified in your survey at the projects successful completion.
