When it comes to my daily winter wear, a toasty warm wool jacket is in my go-to arsenal; owning one is simply put, essential. Nau’s latest Utility Wool Down Jacket is among one of my personal favorites pieces to wear.

If you’re wondering where a name like Nau comes from it’s rather simple:

Pronounced “now,” the name was originally inspired from the traditional Maori greeting, “Nau Mai! Haere Mai!”

When translated, the phrase means, “Welcome! Come in!”

Ever since their first appearance to the world, Nau has been crafting versatile, sustainable apparel that lasts longer and leaves a smaller footprint behind. Fast forward ten plus years to today and Nau’s latest outdoor apparel has impressed me with its performance, beauty and sustainability.

Cape Heather Men’s Nau Utility Wool Down Jacket Review Review

While the Nau Utility Wool Down Jacket is wonderfully soft to the touch with a felt-like feeling, it still manages to retain remarkably rugged and durable characteristics.

The Utility Wool Down Jacket offers plenty of stylish charm to enjoy, not to mention, exceptional warmth.
