Introducing the "Musterer" Jacket: A collaboration of integrity and innovation

At PGG Wrightson Wool, we are proud to announce the launch of the "Musterer" jacket from Kaiwaka Clothing, a product that represents our commitment to sustainable and ethical wool production. 

This jacket, crafted from New Zealand wool produced under our Wool Integrity programme, represents quality, innovation, and environmental awareness.

For over a decade, the Wool Integrity programme has been our flagship initiative to ensure the highest standards in wool production. This programme guarantees that the wool used by companies like Kaiwaka Clothing is produced sustainably and ethically, from farm to fabric.

Danielle Boyd, a PGW wool rep, explains "The Wool Integrity programme started 10 years ago to guarantee that the wool bought by companies like Kaiwaka Clothing is produced to high standards of sustainable and ethical production. We monitor farms and track all stages of wool production, ensuring compliance with Wool Integrity guidelines."

Our partnership with Kaiwaka Clothing is built on shared values of quality and sustainability. Harvey, the R&D manager at Kaiwaka, highlights how this collaboration drives innovation and excellence in outdoor apparel.

Harvey mentions "Kaiwaka Clothing has always tried to create the best workwear for farmers anywhere in the world. Our partnership with PGG Wrightson and the Wool Integrity programme means we're going further, leading the industry with innovations, quality, environmental sustainability, traceability, and animal welfare."

The Musterer jacket is the result of two years of dedicated research and development. This collaboration between PGG Wrightson and Kaiwaka Clothing has produced a garment that sets a new standard in outdoor workwear.

Wool is a fibre that is not only natural and renewable but also sustainable and biodegradable. The Musterer jacket showcases the incredible properties of wool, made possible by the dedication of New Zealand's farming families.

Danielle expresses how exciting it is to get to see a final product like the brand new ‘Musterer’ from Kaiwaka Clothing.

As a leader in the wool industry, PGG Wrightson Wool is committed to driving sustainability and innovation. Our Wool Integrity programme is a cornerstone of this commitment, ensuring that our wool products are ethically produced and of the highest quality.

The Musterer jacket is a symbol of what can be achieved through dedication to quality, sustainability, and innovation.
