At the southernmost and most Pacificy corner of the South Pacific, one might find a realm where chill, fresh winds sweep down from glacier-capped mountains, and cold, cleansing mists roll in from the sea. Lands, possibly, where wooly sheep outnumber people eight to one, and in a quirk of hemispheric fate, summer doesn’t even begin until well after ours is ending. And then there’s the Vegemite . . . lots and lots of Vegemite. With all of this in mind, it seems only right and proper that Bonobos celebrate a bit of these ruggedly virile, sheep-shearing regions with a line of aptly-named wool sweaters. And if it’s cool, crisp weather you seek, may we suggest Wellington, Canberra, and Hobart?
Hobart
Is any land more intriguing or mysterious than Tasmania? Is any garment handier come cold weather than a collared quarter-zip sweater? Both intriguing questions, one of which we can definitively answer. Introducing the Hobart, a half zip sweater named after the capital city of that enigmatic isle. Crafted from the softest and most luxuriant lambswool, and featuring a contrast collar interior and leather zipper toggle, the Hobart is nothing short of a cold-weather masterpiece. Equally ideal as innerwear or outerwear, it’s as delightful under a blazer or jacket as it is over a dress shirt and tie. So just try one on . . . oh, you Tasmanian Devil, you!
