They are lightweight but warm, made of 100% merino wool and machine washable in cold water.

The perfect piece to wear for a season change, form warm into winter. 

This year has officially been the weirdest and slowest year that we can remember. 

At Wolf based out of Melbourne, we had what some would call a questionable summer.

It started with a mixture of:

1. extreme heat (we were scared of the sun and tried to stay in the shade)

 AND

2. downright cold days. (no, 15 degrees in the heat of summer is not acceptable by any standards, unless you live in Denmark and then you are basically living in the arctic circle). 

Neither of these options were what anyone (and we did ask around) was hoping for. Even while wearing KIROV, our crew neck knit, perfect for this changeable weather. 

We would find ourselves gazing off into the sunset imagining that perfect 28 degree day…

Suddenly news started to assault us from every which way of a mysterious new illness, COVID-19.

At first you could kind of ignore it, well we only have like 30 cases in Australia…so maybe this won’t get real, but before we knew it, images of Italy were being catapulted onto our screens and the fear, and realisation grew very real.

#STAYHOME we were told and that was all well and good cause the sun was goddam shining, and for those warm yet cosy days spent at home we had KASLI our polo neck knits.

Flash forward to the first weekend of April and Melbourne and the whole state is drenched, recording snow fall on the top of Mt Buller.

Now, we know it is April but after this phantom summer, but we are genuinely shocked that the weather would turn on us like that. But it is ok, because we have the perfect knits to cover your back for all these conditions.

At Wolf we care above all about fit, so how it looks while maintaining maximum comfort, so that it work by itself or under tailoring.

With different colour options we have your perfect year-round jumper sorted.

‘can I even fit my old suit?’ or ‘will I need to buy a new suit?’

Talk about taking away from the moment! We can all relate to dashing out and buying the first affordable thing we find secretly knowing that we will probably only wear our new purchase once. But what if you changed your mindset and started to think about suits differently. No longer is this just that suit you pull out for special occasions and weddings but instead it’s a suit that is versatile and one you can build a collection around.

This way next time you get invited to a wedding or special occasion panic won’t set in.

No more old, sad, outdated suit! No more new, plain, one-time that will do suit! Instead start a collection by buying a new jacket and trouser suit and adding shirts and accessories to it overtime. This will give you a versatile suit that you can wear in many different ways for many different occasions. Now you can take your suit from the office – to after work drinks – to that all important dinner date and straight through to the weekend wedding you have RSVP’d to.

How you ask? We are going to show you - starting with the wedding guest suit, which is most likely, the reason why you have decided to buy a new suit.

THE WEDDING GUEST SUIT

  • Take inspiration from our top seller Autograf crafted from Super 120s Wool, available in black, and blue
  • Dress it up with a vest, bold statement tie, pocket square, stylish cufflinks and sleek leather shoes. Try our Igor leather lace-up shoe with the signature trans - Siberian railway motif resin sole. Make that statement every time you lift that shoe.
  • Dress it down and show off some of your fair and personality. Accessorize with cufflinks, hat, belt, pocket square or footwear.

THE DINNER DATE

  • It’s time to show off that shirt of yours and showcase some of your personal style and personality! It’s a dinner date which means that you will probably be sitting and this means that you will either have your jacket open and unbuttoned or flicked over your chair. Whatever the case, it’s time for your shirt to shine. Add a different shirt and lose the tie or vest. Pick a shirt with colour/pattern that makes a statement. Go the extra step and add a funky belt, shoe or cufflinks to really look on-trend.

THE OFFICE

Take your jacket and trouser suit set to the office, simply dress it up or dress it down.
  • If your office or office events are super-fancy, keep the tie but don’t be afraid to add a bit of colour. Gone are the days of boring socks and black and white suits- add a pop of colour and some trending patterns to your suit to stand out and show off your personality. Your fun colour/pattern socks will be a conversation starter and that shirt – well it will keep people talking!
  • If your office is a more casual setting, why not lose the tie and add a bit of fun to your shirt. Pair it with a matching belt and shoe and have a little fun with your cufflinks. Don’t forget to add some colour/pattern to your socks to truly reflect your personality and fun side.

Losing a shirt button is so 'last season'!

This season, Wolf Kanat shirts introduce 'Ascolite (™) Button Whipping' A Thermo-fused elastomeric thread developed in Switzerland.
Initially, buttons are sewn on in the traditional way, only slightly loose. Then the Ascolite thread is wrapped tightly under tension around the button shank threads.

This pulls the buttons tight and its simultaneously heat sealed. The result is a flexible, permanently secured, easy-to-button and perfect-looking button shank.

Too much science?

Well its more than just about stopping your buttons from falling off and avoiding the dreaded moment you have to search for matching cotton and a needle in the old Roses Tin full of sewing junk.

The day to day benefit is that since the buttons are sitting slightly more proud of your shirt placket, buttoning up becomes much easier whilst improving the fitting and button line of your shirt.

Style points bonus right there!
