 01 · our stories go deeper

We go deeper than the label. Every piece is grown on a named farm, traced through fleece, spin and small-batch dye, then sealed with a chip that keeps the whole story with you — for as long as you wear it.

03 · Colour stories

Three pieces, three places.

Electrical Blue Hoodie
the fine knit hoodie

Cobalt Blue Hoodie

Indigo, dusk-on-water, and the deep blue of high-country shadow. Dyed in small batches against unbleached merino.

Volcanic Red Overshirt
the over shirt

Tomato Red Over shirt

Iron-rich earth tones pulled from Otago's obsidian fields. Slow-oxidised, never flat.

Rainforest Crew
the original crewneck

Forest Green Crew

Wet moss, fern under-leaf, and the green of weather that hasn't lifted in days.

04 · How we choose colour

We don't invent our colours.
We find them.

Every shade is pulled from the land the wool grows on. We carry a yarn card into the landscape, match it against the real thingGoing deeperCobalt was matched at 04:42 by the lake — that exact blue only holds for about eleven minutes a day., and dye in small batches until it reads true in daylight.

Trousers and shorts, photographed on location
Swim Shorts

Our swim shorts embrace the water, but remain grounded in nature. Crafted from quick-drying merino, they sit perfectly between the spontaneity of an ocean dip and the quiet luxury of drying in the sun.

T-shirts and polos, photographed on location
T-Shirts & Polos

Our T-shirts and polos have the ease of something simple, with a little more shape, texture and intention than the usual warm-weather layer.

Lake Hāwea Station

This is where the dot lands you. Every Sheep Inc. garment traces back to a named high-country station — one of a handful of regenerative farms we work with across New Zealand, each grown from the same standard of care.

We could talk in generalities about merino. We'd rather show you the four things that make ours different — from the soil it grows on to the water it's dyed inGoing deeperClosed-loop and bluesign®-approved — the water leaves the mill cleaner than it arrived..
