Natural Fibre Ski Sweaters

Makkai & Spiers received the prototype of our ski sweater, we think the ultimate ski sweater.  We were at the right place at the right time when some naturally colored merino showed up in New Zealand, and we were talking to a manufacturer who knew the prize winning sorter, who knew this shepherd who had these sheep... etc... we are working with the prototype now.

The ultimate green garment;  no dye, and no sheep died.  The sheep grow wool by eating grass, fertilizing the fields, and moving on, coming back to that grass in a year, but not before giving up a coat of wool.  Then the wool goes straight to a great balance of machinery and talent that cannot be found anywhere else.  Obviously I have no problem going to China, but China cannot do this.

This will be an all New Zealand product.  Here our supplier is showing the raw material.  Check out the silver.  A silver ski sweater...  this is going to be very cool.  I mean hot, well, a lot warmer with maybe 1/3rd the weight.  Well, that is what we are measuring in the prototype, performance.



Another past participant emailed me with a concern regarding a inquiry for a very large but manageable deal from a top buyer.  The past participant was surprised.  When you are in business, things will happen.  If you do not start, they cannot happen.  You have to get started.

I teach on the side, and on the upper right of this blog are three links to classes available world wide.  Get going now!

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
