Yes. And we will have sample sized garments to send to you for pre-fitting. We hope to have this in place by the time the first Collection is available.

We have a sizing guide available here.

These garments may be dry cleaned. However, you may also hand wash using a mild soap and warm water, rinsing well. You can also put them into a gentle wool wash cycle on your washing machine. We've used a wash bag - like you pop your delicates, undies etc into - for more regular washing and then occasionally a hand wash if they need it. You'll find that wool doesn't hold the dirt and is quite easy to keep clean, you just have to be careful with the temperature and machine spinning.

Tweed will never be far from fashionable. There are many reasons for this.

100% woollen tweed is both warm and cool: it breathes, providing comfort and protection throughout the seasons.

The tweed we’ve chosen incorporates a flecked yarn. This results in a wide colour palette, allowing the garment to fit with most other colours. We’ve gone for a dark, consistently stylish base and a multicoloured collection of flecks.

The result is a fabric which doesn’t shout too loud but which gives a solid sense of style: a style statement for the entire outfit.

Our first tweed Collection is in a herringbone weave.

Herringbone is interesting whilst being adaptable within a garment: it can run vertically or horizontally and the warp within the pattern has been used to add strength and graphic detail to the overall garment without requiring overt seam or grain matching.

This woven, colourful, graphic, woollen tweed is manufactured using a blend of wools. The initial fabric for sampling is a Donegal Nepped Tweed from Magee of Donegal, manufactured using 100% wool. It’s a combination of natural woollen fibres – strong wool, merino, angora, lambswool, cashmere, silk, linen and alpaca – from various places, including New Zealand.

Our 100% woollen fabric can be returned to the earth at the end of life.

Hemp is one of the most sustainable fibres to grow. It requires little water or fertiliser and it actually strengthens the soil it’s grown in, suppressing weeds and pulling in nutrients. It’s frequently used as a gap crop, filling in spaces in growing cycles between other, more needy crops.

Also, hemp as a plant is fully usable, dividing up into various different products, supplying various different industries. The apparel fibre it produces is just one product from the hemp plant.

Hemp looks and feels similar to linen. It takes dyes readily and can be spun in various fibre thicknesses and uniformity, to give various looks and purposes to the fabric created by the yarn.

Our 100% hemp fabric can be returned to the earth at the end of life.

Precious Collaborative’s ultimate goal is to have a tweed fully manufactured here in New Zealand. 

Our first Collection is made using tweed from Ireland.

The hemp for the Precious shirt is from The Fabric Store in New Zealand’s exclusive collection. It is a 100% certified organic hemp which is grown, spun & woven in Hei Longjiang Province, Northern China. The colour is “kale”, a slightly slubbed, dark khaki green.
