Make a bold statement with The Manawanui Varsity Jacket, a mix of comfort and Māori steez.
The velvet gives this jacket a smooth shine that stands out along with the vibrant embroidered Taniwha across the chest and sleeves, representing Manawanui, to be strong, brave, and steadfast. Each detail tells a story. The zipper is shaped like a silhouette of a Manu-aute (kite), a acknowledgment of our Tūpuna ancestors and those who have passed on, flying up to dance with them in the sky.
Flowing down the sleeves, the Taniwha designs stretch out toward your hands, symbolising movement, courage, and pushing forward boldly.
With striped ribbed cuffs and hem for that classic varsity feel, this jacket is built for everyday wear, whether you’re out with your mates, heading to an event, or just want to carry a story with you wherever you go.
