Our Heritage

A flock, and a family, since 1880.

Our story begins in 1880 when George Merriman purchased a small flock of Merino sheep. This was to be the beginning of a 150 years of tradition.

In 1903, my great-grandfather Sir Walter Merriman received a portion of that flock for his twenty-first birthday. From that small beginning, he built one of Australia's most respected Merino lines — and five generations later, we still graze the same bloodline of sheep.

Sir W. exists to share that wool with the rest of the world. Not just as outdoor gear. Not just as gym fabric. As proper, considered clothing for the way you can live your life.

1880

The first Merino sheep are purchased by George Merriman (Sir Walter's father).

1903

Walter Merriman acquires his first sheep flock at age 21 and begins his stud.

2022

After 142 years of wool, Jock launches Sir W. — clothing direct from sheep to shoulders.

Why Merino

Better fibre. Fewer washes. Less waste.

Cotton holds odour and wears thin. Polyester traps heat and sheds plastic into every wash. Merino does what neither can — and it's been doing it for thousands of years.

Wear it five times

Naturally antibacterial. Most owners wash every 5–10 wears instead of after every use.

Temperature regulating

Cool when it's hot, warm when it's cold. One shirt for every climate you'll travel through.

No odour, ever

Fine merino fibres prevent the bacteria that cause smell from taking hold in the first place.

Plastic-free

100% natural, renewable, biodegradable. No synthetic blends, no microplastic shedding.

Four Days, One Shirt

The same Bruce. From Thursday to Sunday.

Photographed across four consecutive days of one real trip. Same shirt, hung overnight between wears. No washing. No second shirt. The math of $125, made visible.

Travel Day.

Eight-hour travel day in 22°C cabin air. Merino regulates temperature so you arrive without that synthetic-shirt cling.

The Office.

Same shirt, hung overnight in the hotel bathroom. Wrinkles dropped. Odour resisted by nature. Looks pressed. Wasn't.

The Market

Third wear in. Still the same Merino feeling. Our fabric breathes through the crisp morning, holding up like day 1.
