Description

This Merino and Possum shaped jacket in a 4x2 rib is an extremely flattering fit, successfully elongating the torso and adding shape to the waist area.

The full length zipper enables the jacket to be worn with a collar or zipped all the way through for a snug neck. 

This would be an ideal golf jacket or jacket for the outdoors as it is soft, warm and insulating. 

The models photographed are wearing a size S and are approx. 170cm tall and normally wear a size 8. These garments are designed to relax with wear as they warm to your body. For the best fit, we recommend choosing a size that is slightly firm at first, this ensures a comfortable fit over time.

Materials

Proudly made in New Zealand by Lothlorian from a superior blend of 50% merino wool, 40% possum fur and 10% nylon.

Merino wool provides natural warmth and insulation while still allowing the skin to breathe, and possum fur is a hollow fibre that offers superior warmth and is incredibly lightweight.

Garment Care

Wash Lothlorian possum merino knitwear gently in cool water only (never hot), with wool detergent on a wool/delicate machine cycle only. Spin in the machine, then dry flat. Never tumble dry or use hot water.

If your machine only has a hot/warm wash, hand wash instead.

Lothlorian Merino - Possum Rib Jacket

Lothlorian Merino-Possum Rib Jacket I've been wearing these jackets for years and I'm very happy with my new Charcoal one. It's warm and cosy and versatile. I wash mine using a (front loader) 'gentle wool' programme, then air dry flat.

Lothlorian Merino - Possum Rib Jacket

Lothlorian Merino-Possum Rib Jacket I bought one of these sweaters (wouldn't call it a jacket, but I like that-didn't want a jacket really) in NZ 20 years ago. It finally gave out and I was thrilled that Lothlorian is still making them! It is perfect-warm, pretty, and comfortable. I hand wash them and they stay soft and lovely. No need to dry clean. I plan to order two more just in case they stop offering them. I always get the black and I figure that with the one I just received and the two I will be ordering to save for the future, I should be set for the rest of my life. Many thanks to both Lothlorian for knitting them and The Tin House for selling them.

Merino-possum rib jacket Lovely warm, well-shaped jacket. I really like the teal colour - it's mixed with a touch of black to give it a soft quality, not bright.

Lothlorian Merino I didn't realise that you had changed from being a straight jacket to a shaped jacket which is why the sizing appears to be different from my previous purchase. I prefer the straight jacket.

Best sweater ever So, about 10 years ago I bought the same sweater at the Christchurch airport when waiting for my flight back to the states. Loaned the sweater to my mom, she moved, and sweater disappeared. I have been thinking about this sweater for three years and finally went online, and to my delight found it again. You may laugh when I tell you that I live in San Diego, but we do have a short chilly winter here with a lot of foggy nights. This sweater is also perfect for air conditioned theaters, chilly grocery stores, or hiking in the mountains. It is lightweight and packs beautifully in a backpack or suitcase.

Stunning colour I ordered this cardigan and I absolutely love the colour. It's deep and rich and vibrant, and a pleasure to wear. There is a small amount (10%) of synthetic fibre in the jacket, and so it doesn't feel quite as soft as some of my other possum/merino jumpers, but maybe that will change as I wash and wear it more. It may be nothing to do with the synthetic fibres.

Lothlorian Merino-Possum cardigan I love these cosy jackets. I buy one every year but I find they really need a different knit at the cuff as the sleeve gets quite sloppy in the cuff area after a while. I move my 1year old cardigan to 'around the house' and my 2yr old one to tied around my back to keep my kidneys warm at home
