Two New Zealand family businesses — one born in the design workshop of Auckland, the other on a fifth-generation Southland sheep station — have come together to create a collaboration that celebrates the enduring value of local design and craftsmanship. Davaar x Sylvester brings together the creative legacy of the Sylvester fashion house and the natural fibre heritage of Davaar Wool, in a collection that honours shared values of craftsmanship, family, and the importance of making things well — while highlighting New Zealand manufacturing.
This limited edition of The 515 vest introduces the bold Sylvester red stripe — a nod to modern expression. The Sylvester Huddle pip is sewn into the side seam in their signature red — a subtle marker of partnership, woven into a piece that remains unmistakably Davaar.
The 515 is a timeless layering piece. Textured yet refined in form, it is knitted in New Zealand from 100% strong wool, grown on our century old family farm, Davaar Station. Resilient, breathable, and made to be worn often and for years to come.
Featuring a soft rounded crew neckline and gentle hem, it’s designed to fit neatly under winter coats or blazers, and worn easily over a tee or shirt on cooler summer evenings.
A reliable, comfortable fit. If you’re in between sizes, we recommend sizing down — the wool will naturally relax after a few wears. For an oversized fit, select one size up from your usual size. Our model Cosmo wears size L.

Knitted using 100% natural strong sheep wool grown exclusively on Davaar Station, New Zealand. Each fleece is individually fibre-scanned, allowing us to select only the highest-performing fibres for softness, strength, and durability.
The result is naturally non-itch knitwear that holds its shape, wears beautifully, and delivers exceptional resilience — designed to last a lifetime.
Small-batch craftsmanship, entirely made in New Zealand.
Wool is naturally stain and odour resistant, so very little washing is required. We recommend gentle hand washing in cold water with an approved wool detergent once or twice a year to keep your garment fresh. After washing, dry flat and store folded in a dry wardrobe or drawer — never hung — to maintain its shape. Our fibre-scanned wool is selected for strength and durability, resulting in minimal pilling; should any occur, a sweater stone will gently restore the finish.
We ship worldwide, with all orders dispatched within one business day directly from Davaar Station, New Zealand. Delivery times vary by location and will be calculated at checkout.
Once your order is on its way, you’ll receive tracking details via email so you can follow your Davaar’s journey from our farm to your wardrobe.
For international orders, duties and taxes may be applied by your local customs authority upon arrival and are the responsibility of the recipient.
