Product Sizing & Care
Are your garments true to size?
Our entire range is a standard NZ fit unless otherwise stated on the product page. Each product page has both cm & inch garment measurements, and our jackets also have an additional height/weight ratio guide for a 'best-fit' recommendation.
What if I order the wrong size?
No problem! Simply fill in your details on the Returns form enclosed with your purchase and send both the form & your purchase back to us ensuring they are received by our warehouse no later than 30 days after them having been delivered to you. The cost of shipping item/s back to us is the responsibility of the customer (please note: we are a RURAL address). Once we've received your return, weβll get your new size sent to you within 2-4 business days, free of charge (NZ). A store credit will be issued to international customers so they may purchase their preferred size. A shipping confirmation email containing your new tracking details will be sent to you at this time. If the item you want isn't available, we'll notify you by email and offer you either a store credit, or a refund.
Are your garments 100% wool?
Our jackets are made up of a 100% New Zealand wool outer layer with a fleece-lined inner. Weβre all about maximum comfort and warmth on the inside and durability on the outside.
What type of wool do you use and where is it sourced?
We use a blend of Romney and Perendale wool, sourced from the fertile plains of the South Island of New Zealand. All wool we source is100% New Zealandgrown.
How do I care for my Mount Kiwi products? Will they shrink?
To keep your Mount Kiwi garment in tip top shape, we recommend a gentle hand-wash. Havenβt got time? Itβs perfectly fine to wash your items by machine but they MUST go on the βDelicateβ, βHandwashβ or βWoolβ cycles using only cold water. Our garments like gentle, cold, and slow spin cycles. Theyβll only shrink if theyβre exposed to heat, so keep it away from the dryer and dry it on a flat surface in the shade.
Iβve got sensitive skin. Is the wool itchy?
Each of our wool jackets has a feather-soft fleece lined inner, meaning you wonβt experience any itchiness on the skin. Our wool jackets are warm, snug, and free from irritation.
