After ten successful years of trading, QIVIUT & CO has now sold out of all existing inventory and, unfortunately, is forced to close its virtual doors due to the inability to procure commercial quantity of musk ox fibre to make new products.
It has been a wonderful decade with many, many highly satisfied customers. If we can find a way to replenish sufficient musk ox fibre stock on a regular basis, we will revive the brand but for now we cannot continue.
All of the contacts on our extensive mailing list will be advised if and when this happens. If you are not on our list but would like to be similarly advised, just enter your name and e-mail address here.
We also have a few kilograms of good quality but unprocessed raw qiviut fibre available for purchase. If interested, you can so indicate on the same form linked above.
For any enquiries, please contact bob@qiviutandco.com.
"I have received my coat and I wanted to take a moment and provide some feedback. I’ve lived in a region that gets very cold in the winter for over 30 years and I have never gotten used to it. Because of this I have always put a lot of focus and effort into the winter coat I purchase. I have bought a lot of expensive name brand coats that have let me down over the many winters I can remember. So needless to say when I chose to order the Qiviut Jack I had already done months of research into all the various fibers that make up the warmest materials. I was intrigued by the ThermOx insulation so I took a chance and placed an order.
Because I am in the US the package took a bit longer to come than most, but let me tell you, it was well worth the wait. From the design of the box, to the presentation of the coat itself, I was blown away! The amount of thought, care and creativity that went into every detail of this product truly communicates an overwhelming sense of obsessive quality. From the design of the jacket to the placement of the pockets, down to the unique fibers the make up the inner pocket linings every aspect has been carefully crafted formed, fitted and placed. Not to mention the most important part, the jack itself is warmer than a full fledged winter coat except thinner and lighter. The Qiviut Jacket isn’t just a jacket its an experience. It’s a work of art. And you didn’t gain a customer, you gained a fan. Amazing!"
"I have received both parcels and I have to say that this is the most sophisticated and beautiful jacket I ever owned. It is simply outstanding and the presentation was so well made. Thank you very much for the opportunity to be one of the very few proud owners of this exceptional piece."
Received the musk ox socks today. Soft indeed! The presentation box was lovely and the personalized note from the founder was right in line with the other stellar customer service received. Very impressed! Thank you so much!
"We have had near Artic conditions in WORMSHILL over the last 24 hours. Your wonderful jacket has come into its own!"
"The Qiviut Jacket has all of the qualities that I thought it would including weight, warmth and appearance. … This is an amazing product and more than worth the price."
"The fit is more comfortable than any other jacket I have purchased. This is a coat I will continue to enjoy for years to come!”
"Forget bold ties and bright handkerchiefs: true gentlemen (and women) should make a statement with colourful socks and 'let their ankles do the talking"
"Have to let you know how happy I am to have THE coat with me on our trip to the Balkans. We have had record low temps. (Highs of 0 Celsius)!!! I have been toasty warm the whole time."
