Keep them all guessing which way you’re going to wear it today, this thick furry soft New Zealand-made “reversible” headband. Like our other NZ woolies, it’s blend of Merino wool, Australian Possum wool, and nylon, for strength in the outback, mate.

 Since it’s reversible, it’s exactly like getting two for the price of one.

 As a way to kill off the bad possums, the NZ gov’t encourages and helps subsidizes businesses that make things out of possum wool. These NW Woolies (a blend of merino, possum, and nylon (“for strength”) came of that plan, and us importing them and you buying them greases the skids.
