Great wool top thanks, any one familiar with Swanndri will know these things take some wearing out.
Size wise the XL is spot on if you’re around 6ft. Nice and long in the sleeves as well.
Quick delivery too, cheers.

This is an awesome product

This is an awesome product. It's warm, it's silent, it's durable. You can vent through the neck zip. The pockets are big and handy. It's wool! It is on the big side but I think this aids ventilation and in winter it allows layers underneath. Highest welfare standards for the sheep. All good! Consider how long it will last - top value.

An excellent piece of clothing, this is the 2nd

An excellent piece of clothing, this is the 2nd Swanndri bushshirt I've owned. Great for outdoor pursuits.

I really love this top - a carefully constructed wool overshirt.

I wear it as you might a fleece, with a long-sleeved tee shirt as a layer underneath.

The tails are long, which is great if you are working outside and bending down a lot. There are two very useful chest pockets.

The first time I wore it I didn't want to take it off, it is so cosy. Yet it is not too thick or heavy. Perfect!

Very highly recommended!

I've always loved Swanndri clothing and have had a shirt for years that has finally worn out. This new bush shirt don't disappoint. I've not had it long but it's great.

Nice wool bush shirt but was disappointed to find they are made in China not New Zealand.

The sizes can be hit and miss.

At 6'2" 48"chest I needed a 3xl to fit my chest/shoulders but the bottom to be massive so i had to break my trusty old Singer to take it in 2.5" each side.

Overall it's a nicely made bushshirt.

Really poor fit.

Disappointed but will try to get it altered by someone.
