Brilliant pice of kit have had a number over the years, really comfortable, extremely well made well worth the investment

Great shirt for 3 seasons

Swanndri Ranger shirt stalwart kit for years. Purchasing from the Woodlore shop is always smooth and simple.

Second time I've bought a Swanndri Ranger shirt. Can't fault them as they are so hard wearing, long lasting and ok around fires. Sizes are on the large side so if you don't want a loose fit drop a size as per the advice. I'm ok with the sizing for layering in cold climes etc. Great product.

Bought this for my Fiance, as she constantly steals my green one (borrows she says). She hated the check pattern - all was going to plan I thought but then she refused my old green one as an alternative gift so I had to go buy another Green one for her. Now I have two. So I can say from experience and long term use that these shirts are robust, warm (even when wet) and versatile. Buy one of two. Great customer service. I have been using my other one for 7 years for sea kayak camps, bushcraft and hunting and it is still going strong.

Bought this for my Fiance, as she constantly steals my old green one (borrows she says). I had bought her a checked bush shirt but she did not like it so I kept it and bought her this one. I can say from experience and long term use that these shirts are amazing, robust, warm (even when wet) and versatile. Buy one. Great customer service.

I brought this for my fiancé who absolutely loves it. Feels lovely and very snuggly. Looks great with jeans and boots. It will keep him warm and dry in the autumn, winter and spring.

It is very nice and large and is easy to get on and off. It is warm and comfortable.
It is very long in the body and I'm 6'1 and shows underneath my Fjallraven no.8 anorak, so I will have to adjust the hem of the shirt so it does not stick out the bottom.

I returned the shirt for the following reasons:
1. Despite ordering 'XS' size, the shirt was still way too large with the arms being incredibly long ('S' would normally be quite tight on me);
2. It nearly came down to my knees (I'm 5'9 / 1.75m);
3. It's made in China, which is not mentioned in the website and is quite at odds with the presentaion of the 'New Zealand' authentic product pitch - and personally, I prefer not to buy Chinese product if at all possible;
4. I doubted the material claim (100% New Zealand wool), firstly because its made in China and then, having felt the product and read the slightly confusing label telling me that the outer was a wool mix and the lining (there was no lining) was polyester.
Overall, I knew I wouldn't wear it so it went back. I should add that I have bought quite a few other items from Ray Mear's shop and all were great.

Excellent quality, good price, looking forward to getting many years of use thank you.

Very good quality and price, thank you.

Nice strong rough wool shirt. Keeps warm and camouflages well. Those who want to do the Gustav Jeager method, excellent product. Best tucked in on windier days as air does like to get under it. Loose fit.

Good quality mid layer, fits perfectly.

Got the red and black in Xl intending to use as overshirt, perfect for this I take a large usually, I spend a lot of time out and about, camping and around the fire. The shirt is a large fit so can fit many layers underneath if it's cold. Chest pockets can hold a selection of small items, cut kit and fire pack for example. Long enough to tuck into trousers but can make you look like your wearing nappy. Shoulders are huge. I have pretty broad shoulders and there is space. I wore it during a heavy and sustained rain fall and it kept me surprisingly dry. Good spark resistance. Zip is good quality and allows for chest ventilation if you get warm. Obviously very breathable being wool. Collar can be turned up to give a little protection to neck. Pretty bulky due to length so some synthetics may be a better option for packability. Not that windproof even with dense weave but OK. I use it to throw on over other layers as the temp drops. Its pure wool so if wool annoys the soft parts of your body, neck, inner ams etc this will be tough to wear over a t-shirt.
I really feel this adds a nice bit of colour to the green scene and looks pretty cool.
Had one in green a few years ago and accidentally washed it on a hot wash and it shrink drastically. Be very careful and of course read the label.
Overall I would buy again, great product.

Been wanting one of these for years and finally took the plunge - and I'm very pleased I did. The quality of the woollen fabric and the making up are excellent. I bought XL as I'm usually 46-48in chest and I wanted space underneath for a shirt and jumper and the XL is just right. I wear the shirt mostly for fly fishing in the cooler months or in windier conditions in the Summer months over just a shirt. The long length is perfect for keeping my back warm and, depending on depth, the shirt can be worn inside or outside my waders. The big chest pockets are good for a cell phone or wallet. Being wool the shirt is breathable and reasonably windproof and will hold off a shower or even light rain for a short period.
One small improvement would be to have a tag on the zip puller, which is rather small especially for cold and/or wet hands. (Or you can put a loop of thin nylon climbing cord on it for a home made puller, as I have. )
Overall this is a very flexible garment that has a whole variety of outdoor applications and fully deserves the high regard in which Swanndri clothing is held.

I absolutely love the Swanndri Ranger Wool Bushshirt. A classic outdoor garment, perfect for use in Britain as a go to work/craft mid layer. I love the classic olive colour and the loose fit, ideal for putting over the top of another layer or two, and keeps out the wind and rain nicely. this is definitely one of those shirts that will get better with age and will last for a long time if taken care of. The sizing is generous, I usually wear a 38/40" chest in most clothing and the small size is plenty big enough to be loose fitting and comfortable with an extra layer or two underneath. This shirt with an underlayer such as a 200g Woolpower or similar would would be a very comfortable and dependable combination for the British climate all year round. I like the simple design and large pockets, ideal for carrying a sharpening stone or two in one, and a fire set up or tinder tin in the other. All in all this is a classic, dependable and robust shirt that will last for ages with proper care and attention.

Absolutely my favorite piece of outdoor clothing. Very well constructed! My first shirt lasted 10 years of heavy use and I have no doubt that my new one will be around just as long.
Buy with confidence.

This is an amazing product, built well, very warm but not sweaty. I've basically not taken this off since I got it. I fully believe this is a garment I will use nearly everyday.

This garment is of exceptional quality. It's comfortable and warm. It fits perfectly and just feels great to wear. If you are a prospective purchaser, I would advise that you do so, you will not be disappointed. You will look quite fancy too.

Fantastic bit of kit, bit concerned about the sizing when I ordered the item but I need not have worried. The day after I received it, I went for a walk out on the hills with just a base layer, a shirt and experimented by using this as an outer garment, it was great. After a few miles I got to warm, so I took off the shirt, and just had the base layer underneath, that felt so comfortable. There was a fairly chilly and breezy but I was snug as a bug. Plenty of room under the arms, if need be other layers won t feel to tight. The Pockets on the front are ample, all in all very happy. I only wish I had brought this when I first saw it. Again, thanks to everyone at Woodlore for their excellent service and Happy New year to you all.

Quick shipment and delivery, thank you,

Great item, well made, quite a large fitting but ideal if to go over thick jumpers

These have to be the best outdoor shirts available. Have had a Swanndri kit in the past and they simply cannot be beaten.

Great piece of kit I've got sick of gear that's supposed to be breathable and isn't, so decided after reading a lot of reviews to go for wool. First outing was a 5 mile forest walk in the rain with a t shirt and a flannel shirt underneath, stayed dry as a bone and warm. I stayed true to size, could have gone a size up but still plenty of room for movement.

I cannot really comment on this particular bush shirt, but I am still using one that has been hard used over thousands of hours and although threadbare it is still a favourite.

Long standing classic water resistant wool shirt. A little bit scratchy on the skin but this is easily managed when worn over base layers and it is extremely warm. It is easy to put on and take off when stopping for a break or doing something physical. Very generous pockets on the front but a bit fiddly when using gloves. A reliable, well tested bit of kit all round and just what you'd expect from Woodlore.

Excellent bit of kit, built to last. Will be purchasing other items from the range in the future.

Fantastically warm shirt. My go to garment for walking the dog. Pay attention to sizes, order a size smaller. No qibble exchange, great shopping experience.

This is a fantastic shirt, why have I not had one before. It's very warm, it's better than other well known brands like the Arctic fox range and cheaper. It is very spacious to the point of being baggy, if you order your normal size go a size smaller. You definitely need an under shirt, something like a merino wool thermal vest because being wool like this it is scratchy and itchy. It is a brilliant bit of kit though buy one for yourself and one for the wife and turn the heating off save a fortune.

Excellent service, fast delivery, super quality. Very happy.
