An incredibly talented wildlife filmmaker and conservationist, Mat Goodman is a wearer of Davaar and currently resides in the picturesque Fiordland town of Manapouri.

Mat’s love for the outdoors and working with animals large and small has led him into his filmmaking career where his work is predominantly based overseas. His passion lies in capturing big cats and monkeys as it turns out!

Besides work (which he says doesn’t really feel like work most of the time), Mat spends his time planting natives and building, a newly acquired hobby. He also loves swimming in cold water which is easy enough to find in the south and all the more reason to throw on his Davaar after the polar plunge!

What's important to you when purchasing clothing?

I really appreciate something that is well fit and suited to purpose. The shorter that supply chain is, the better. If there is a personal element in the manufacturing process, all the better. 

Which Davaar jersey do you have?

I actually have two! The two tone one — The 101 in Marle, which was the original batch Kate did and recently bought The 101 in Marle again but from the newest batch. I thought I needed one for roughing and one for good. Both of them I love!

How do you use and wear your Davaar?

All about home (especially at this time of year) - perfect layer to grab when mooching.
 

What do you love most about your Davaar?

I really love the colours - it also has a gravitational pull for any visiting guests who instantly want to FEEL it.
