The 515 — Davaar X Sylvester

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.
