    Right, so I've got a bunch of free fabric samples to send out: Vadmal (wool felt), reindeer leather, foam quilted polyester, and wool fleece.

    PM me if you're keen. Postage will be free of charge.

    Here's a short video clip of how our fabric performs when wet.

    https://fb.watch/52uEZJe9fj/


    When completely saturated, the surface of the fabric will soak up some water, but the water will not seep through to the inside.

    It doesn't take long for the surface of the fabric to dry. Pretty much on-par with fleece.

    I'm sure we can spray paint them to suit.

    Giveaway.


    Micklagaard Cape Ullen. These go for approx $800 NZD. This one's been used as a demo, but is in pristine condition.

    42" long and 29" arms.

    Quite hefty/bulky, but very warm and weather resistant. Best used for camping, fishing, game bird shooting, or other relatively static activities.

    Whoever wants it must have at least 100 forum posts, and postage is on you.

    You don't need a cape. Who do you think you are; Batman?

    That may be the case. But you're not cool enough to wear a cape, either.

    Clay Tall Stories gave us his best Soviet impression. He's been living in his Micklagaard 'Anorak Abisko' since getting it, and is pretty chuffed with its water resistance and durability.

    It may feature in some of his upcoming videos. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzo...Slvhj3KKtjOUNQ

    The Anorak Abisko is ideally suited to low exertion activities (i.e bush-stalking) or for static activities (glassing/at camp). It's a relatively heavy garment, but built very tough and it'll keep out any weather. Dries quickly too!

    It provides plenty of ventilation via side zips, an extremely versatile hood/collar system, and adjustable cuffs.

    This Anorak (like all of Micklagaard's garments) is made of a special fabric called 'Vadmal' which is made of 80% felted/silicon-impregnated wool, and 20% Rayon (which helps boost the breathability and moisture wicking properties of the wool).

    Vadmal is inherently water resistant, so there's no need for taped seams, glue, waterproof coatings etc, which means there's very little to go wrong or wear out. Repairs can be carried out in the field with minimal tools.

    Micklagaard offers this anorak in standard sizes (from XS - 4XL), but can custom tailor it to fit your unique dimensions and make small modifications (i.e add snap fasteners, extra leather, shoulder/elbow padding etc). Custom tailoring will incur a 20% upcharge.

    Micklagaard is a family owned and operated company, based in Hagfors Sweden. All of their garments are hand built by a small team of dedicated tailors, and if you order a custom garment, you will deal directly with the owner of the company.

    It is being offered for approx $680 NZD. www.micklagaard.com


    A 15% forum discount will still be offered, and will likely persist for the remainder of this year.

    If you've got any questions or would like some fabric samples, please flick me a PM or an email at micklagaardnz@gmail.com

    Alternatively, you can find us on Facebook @ micklagaardnz



    Cheers,
    AJ

    Sorry to necro bump this thread

    However , Is it possible to order a Cape (Womens) and an Abisko (Mens) with Button fasteners rather than Zips?

    I have a hate-hate relationship with zips , in that they always seem to shit out.

    I have the Fjallraven No.8M Anorak and love that , though am feening something in Wool.

    Cheers.
