Swanndri Ranger Wool Bushshirt - Olive

  1 of 70

  I have lived in this bushshirt every single day from 4th January to approx 2nd April. From then onwards I have still worn it most days, just a bit less so because of hotter conditions. For this period of time (up until mid-May) I have been living in very remote mountainous locations. Working on the land with goats, construction work, collecting firewood, walking through brambles (etc.), this shirt has proved invaluable. Being very cold in Jan and Feb (I was in an ancient farmhouse with holes in the walls/roof and without central heating or hot water except by wood fire), the bagginess of this top was perfect as it allowed me to comfortably wear 3 (or 4 - maybe 5 if necessary) layers underneath it to keep me warm. The top is also somewhat water-resistant, so very good when working outside all the time, for protection against showers, just in general when washing dishes etc. The wool is strong I felt fairly confident carrying large bundles of rough firewood/rough clay tiles etc in this shirt without being too concerned that it might snag/tear, which it never did. Only when it was heavy rain, or really cold/windy did I swap this for my waterproof winter coat, but in general the bushshirt was sufficient as an outer layer (bearing in mind that I was wearing several layers underneath obviously though it always totally depends on the climate/conditions you are in!). Definitely worth the price, thoroughly recommended for outdoor life. Also I made a mess of the order/delivery details, but Woodlore responded immediately and resolved the issue straight away.

  Just took this on a week long trip in Iceland and it did a great job of keeping me warm. I wore a merino base layer under it, but it was wide enough in the chest to add a fleece under it as well. I went with a size down as recommended and it fits perfectly. I'm especially hard to fit at 6'5' with a slim build. Usually I wear an XL for length, it's usually too wide around the middle. I went with the L and it is still long and wide enough. I especially love the collar which can be flipped up for extra wind protection. Great buy.

  I bought this shirt after a recommendation from a friend. I wore it all last weekend on a course and had changeable conditions from warm to cool. It handled both really well. I didn't have to remove it when it warmed up and when it got colder and windy with a shower or 2 it really worked well. Very happy.

  Great Ranger Wool Shirt, arrived promptly while we were out filming at a natural shelter location. Now worn regularly at many outdoor festival team meetings. Great for keeping very warm and dry.

  Excellent bit of kit, it has not been tested in very cold weather but kept me warm and dry when out wild camping in the rain recently. Very fast delivery, very happy with my purchase.

  This Bushshirt is light and warm with good ventilation. This will definitely be one of my favourite items of clothing whenever I will be in nature.

  Fantastic. I love this jacket, I wear it everyday. It does not itch and keeps you toasty warm even in rain, my order arrived 24 hours earlier than expected with no faults at all.

  Excellent shirt. I wear it outside during backyard work. Warm and comfortable. As other reviewers pointed out, it is very loose fit. Buy one size smaller as usual.

  Great quality and great looking. If you are thinking of purchasing please take heed of the sizing advice given on the site. These garments really are generously cut. I am usually between a 41' and 42' fit and my 41' shirt will easily allow me to add extra layers underneath. This is perfect for me but if you prefer a more tailored look perhaps best go for an inch or two down in size. Great and speedy service as always.

  Great. I buy one every 10 years or so when they finally give up. I really put these through their paces. Watch the sizes, I am usually XL but take a Large in this. Love them.
