Siren's 100% Merino, Double Collar Jumper keeps out the cold, with a draw corded cowl that sits inside a double ribbed collar. The longline top features two angular zips (which can be left open) and a stepped hemline. Striking, warm colour in Mustard with dark Navy hems and collar.

Currently in stock at Zebrano although in limited range as they say it rocketed out their door last winter and seems to be doing the same this year with the demand for 100% Merino.
My reason for selling is that I bought it in a hurry and should have bought size 20 which they didn't have. Zebrano's current price is $179 so for the price I am asking - your GAIN, my PAIN. See link for Siren at Zebrano
