I bought this to replace my Ridgeline monsoon coat. I've bought a few Swanndri garments over the years. I love that wool keeps you warm and mostly dry when working in cold and wet conditions which the mosgiel certainly does. It's also breathable! It's a long bushshirt, it comes down to just above my knees (I'm 6ft) which isn't a bad thing and there's lots of room in it for full range of movement. The hood is large and will fit over a chainsaw helmet. A quality Swanndri bushshirt indeed!

I have had Swanndri in the past and always wanted one of these. Exceptional bit of kit and ideal for our rubbish winters! Function over fashion. Fast service and delivery as always. Cut really well, quite thick but not too bulky - I went for a large being 6 foot and a 42 chest and I can have a shirt and jumper and still be comfortable. Ideal two way zip for venting if needed and a nice hood which you can remove if you want. Quality coat at not silly money!!

The Swandri Mosgiel Bushshirt is a really good bit of kit. I've worn it everyday. It has kept me warm and dry whilst out in the rain and in the very early morning chill. It's quite addictive to wear, and once it wears in it's so comfortable. I ordered a medium but for me it was to baggy, I have a 40 inch chest and big shoulders. After exchanging for a small, it had a tailored fit and more to my liking. This was my first Swanndri purchase and the quality of the Bushshirt is top notch. The Woodlore customer service team are very helpfull and friendly.

Incredibly good product, going to order three more.

I love this garment, it is extremely warm and something I will probably have for the rest of my life. That being said, it has not proven to be the most practical of garments. It's big and it's heavy. I only ever see myself using this when the weather is atrocious and I'll be wearing it at all times, and not try to pack it away. Walking any distance in it, with a few layers on and the temp. around 5 degrees C and I'll be sweating buckets, and it's too big to pack away.

I prefer this full zip version to the overhead version which a friend owns, this is much easier to get on, has a big stand up collar, the hood is detachable and has hip pockets, none of which the other version has. One flaw in the garment which doesn't make sense to me, Swanndri makes a point of noting that the shirt is lined with a finer, softer wool and it is, but only the main body. The sleeves are unlined, and the heavier wool is very coarse against the skin. If you're going to have bare skin in contact with it, it'll be because you have short sleeves on, so the sleeves should too be lined, not the body.

So great for time spent static around camp, vehicle assisted camps, birdwatching etc, not great for hiking, wild or minimalist camping in my honest opinion.

Great warm jacket. Order a size smaller, dont go by sizes on chart or you be sending back. My chest is 41 inches and medium was perfect and has some room for layering.

Really good, I haven't put it through its paces yet. Its been out in some cold wind, that's where the high collar comes in along with the hood of course. It's quite a warm coat which has not used in the rain but I have tried it in the snow for a couple of hours and I was dry afterwards. It's quite long on me, it comes down to my knees, I'm 5 foot 5 inches. It reminds me of a first world war trench coat, and is a really good Woolly coat. Being wool it is very breathable, there are hand warming pockets and an inside pocket for your phone as well as a breast pocket the two way zip. All in all it's an awesome coat but I don't know why they call it a shirt. Someone said you couldn't wear it in the street in town but I don't see why not, have you seen what some people wear out.

Simply the best comfort and protection in the worst weather and I have tried many others. On my 3rd one now due to bodily expansion but this is the best all rounder coat by far. If you don't believe reviews just check out how long a second hand Mosgiel stays on Ebay for... don't blink!

Overall, a high quality, durable product. I had an issue with the zip where it detached itself. This was quickly resolved by Ray Mears Bushcraft. Fantastic service.

A great piece of well made clothing.

The service from Woodlore was awesome. Free next day delivery. Cant get better than that.

Got this for working in the allotment over winter. It's tough and warm enough for the farmers back home so totally able to cope in the allotment. Think of it as the New Zealand equivalent of a waxed jacket. Service was great and arrived wrapped well and on time. I went for the full zipped option over the bush shirt to enable me to vary my temperature which proved a good idea. A true New Zealand classic, and you can't go wrong.

Bought as a birthday gift for my husband. He has wanted one for a while and he loves it. He's a gamekeeper and this keeps him warm and dry and doesn't make any noise. I was a bit worried about the size. I wasn't sure if I should get large or extra large. The extra large is quite big but I think the large would of only just fit him.

I have been a user of Swanndri for some years now, a Ranger shirt now worn in the garden with the Swanndri bucket hat which have never let in the rain. I find that the length, provides the right amount of protection without becoming an encumbrance, the full length zip providing the ability to regulate warmth.

All in all a very useful piece of kit.

Great piece of kit. The sizing was spot on. The only thing I would point out is that it can feel a bit scratchy on bare skin especially around the neck. I will need to wear something with a collar on underneath. Finally, it was fantastic service from the Woodlore team.

This is a fantastic product. Long cut, fairly windproof, great quality. A little quirky looking, so maybe not for the high street.

Basically it's a tailor made, but not on Savile Row blanket, cut from Swanndri's almost bullet proof heavyweight woolen yarn. It is a great comfort, thoroughly recommended.

This is a quality coat. I've been in the woods when it's sunny and warm, I have not been sweaty and uncomfortable. I've been out in cold weather, the Mosgiel Bush shirt kept me warm and dry. I don't know how they do it but it works. The long back allows you to sit on it. Very tough. Best price you can find on the web. Thanks Ray.

Excellent. I had considered getting this for some time, having had a Ranger shirt for many years. I have purchased from Woodlore previously and with a very good price and excellent service it seemed the best place to try. Roomy and well made, very classic in design, but that is the attraction rather than all of the very modern type clothing available. Very Pleased with my new purchase, long may it last. Many Thanks.

Very good product. This my fourth Swanndri. All still going strong.

Excellent base layer for snowshoeing, worked great with my canvas outer shell.

I like that it is wool, traditional yet not too traditional so it looks good on a young person. It definitely fits well into the Bushcraft theme. I would not prefer it during long distance hikes due to its weight, otherwise a wonderful choice around the camp. I would recommend it to a friend.

Woodlore has done it again. Great service. The item arrived in 24 hours. I can see why this item is one of Ray's favourites. It will be my favourite also. Great colour to blend in with nature and very well made. The fit is perfect. It looks even better if you wear a leather belt around the waist of the bushshirt (to hold your knife etc). The hood hangs nicely when you're not wearing it up. There is room to move and work without feeling too bulky, a fleece can be worn inside if needed. The only way it could be improved is if the inner pocket was lower down (I find it a bit too high and awkward) but other than that I give it full rating. The length is just above the knee. Thanks Woodlore, You always sell quality goods and provide a great service.

Brilliant quality, lovely feel and has an original look. Arrived just in time for me to wear on a boat journey. It was warm, functional and stood out from the crowd in truly foul weather. I intended to use it under a Swazi Tahr XP to ensure my kit is bomb-proof. Service and delivery time were outstanding. The guys at Woodlore must have quick release knots securing their stock as it always arrives so speedily.

The Swanndri Bushshirt is an excellent piece of kit. Fits well and pairs nicely with other articles of clothing. This is not a criticism of the shirt, as it bunches up around the arm pit area, this takes some getting use to. This does provide for greater mobility through the chest and arm pit region. Overall this shirt rocks! Thanks Woodlore for your great product line. Sincerely Jeremiah.

A good quality coat/jacket. I have given it 4 stars due to the sizing. I tried both the medium and small and both feel 1 size bigger, so I have stuck with the small size, which feels more like a medium. I know it's a bushcraft coat and is meant to be worn slightly bigger but for me to get the most enjoyment and wear from this coat I am going to have it tailored. I think then I will have a great everyday overcoat that I would feel comfortable to wear anywhere. Overall quality and design of the coat is very good and feels good on. Excellent service from Woodlore.
