WAH-WAH x KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD
Time flies when you’re making crazy sweaters. Would you believe it’s been 9 years since a baby Wah-Wah released her first collab with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard? Since then, WAH-WAH has grown operations from her sharehouse bedroom to her garage, and King Gizzard have gone from ‘this really cool band from Melbourne you probably wouldn’t have heard of them’ to global arena psych rock domination. Success is all relative I guess, but it’s nice to know that while our respective brand and band have grown up, our love of raucous knitwear remains!
For our second collaboration, we wanted to create a chunkier knit that would look like the sort of jumper that you might ask your granny to knit in your wildest dreams. After a few back and forths with Jason Galea (the visual mastermind behind the band’s album art, film clips and posters) we came up with a design that’s sure to turn heads AND twist minds.
The band have decided to donate all of their royalties to OUR WATCH, an independent not-for-profit organisation who are a national leader in the primary prevention of violence against women and their children in Australia.
Details: 55% RWS Extrafine merino wool & 45% cotton. Knitted in China with Australian superfine merino wool. Please note, this particularly design is an INTARSIA knit, which means there will be tied ends of yarn on the underside of the garment. There may also be slight variation in artwork from size to size.
Care: Turn your wool garment inside out, then hand wash in clean, lukewarm water, approximately 30°C, using a mild and gentle detergent. Allow to soak for a period of 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly firstly in lukewarm water, then finally in cold water. Dry flat in shade. Do not tumble dry. Warm iron. Dry Cleanable.
Stu & Tony both wear an XL for a relaxed fit.
WAH-WAH sizing is unisex and the measurements above reflect the garment measurements in cm. We recommend measuring from underarm to underarm of a jumper (sweater) that you like the fit of, and choosing the nearest corresponding size. Keep in mind that the knitted superfine merino wool is pretty stretchy and forgiving, so there is a bit of leeway with sizing. For more info, check out the sizing gallery HERE.
