We heard this lovely story recently from our merino growers at Mt Nicholas Station:

US guests, Jim and Milly, wanted to take home the perfect souvenir from their stay on Mt Nicholas Station – an Icebreaker made with the wool from Mt Nicholas merinos. Considering that Mt Nicholas is Icebreaker’s largest supplier of merino wool, this seemed like a simple enough wish. So, before departing from New Zealand, Jim and Milly visited Queenstown’s two Icebreaker retail outlets and spent over two hours scanning Baacodes. The outcome? They couldn’t trace a single garment back to Mt Nicholas! Not to be perturbed, the pair continued their mission back home in Colorado, tracking down an Icebreaker retail outlet in a town called Steamboat and, at long last, securing the souvenir they’d been searching for.
