The Swanndri Ranger Shirt is a superb, tough work shirt made from 100% woollen yarn. It has become a staple outdoor garment for Ray and the Woodlore team, thanks to its warmth, quietness, and durability. Just take a look at the cover of the Outdoor Survival Handbook for an idea of how long Ray has been putting Swanndri Ranger Shirts to the test.

In 1913, New Zealand tailor William Broome, frustrated by the country's incessant rain, developed a work shirt with a secret waterproofing. The shirt, made from 100% wool, was fabled for its durability and practicality, quickly becoming the clothing choice of pioneering New Zealanders the length and breadth of the country, its unsurpassed fabric keeping them warm and dry in the winter and cool in the summer. William named the shirt the Swanndri, due to the way that water ran off the wearer's back. To this day the original design remains unchanged and is as relevant to today's outdoorsmen and women as it was almost one hundred years ago.

Sizing: Please note that the Swanndri Ranger Shirt features a very generous fit, which allows plenty of room underneath for extra layers. If you do not like your shirts to be loose-fitting, we recommend that you purchase the next size down. Please bear this in mind when placing your order.

The styling has changed slightly, so has the weight and thickness of the wool, but I would recommend Swanndri as top outdoor clothing to anyone. I bought my original Swanndri Drovers top 21 years ago in NZ and it is still good, so I decided to treat myself. Hopefully this one will be just as useful. It was an early birthday present and has been worn already. Both the website and swiftness of service in getting the product delivered were very good.

It's pleasant to wear an item of clothing made from wool. It is warm, not sweaty, loose fitting.

I can't believe I waited so long before purchasing one of these. Warm, comfortable, practical and decently long, it is my go to garment for every day wear since it arrived. Still looks great and generates a lot of interest from other people. I don't know how it manages to be so windproof as well. I am really happy with this. I can see why your model looks so smug.

Not too much else to say about the shirt, just great. Warm and comfy, but there is something I would like to say. Because I had personal issues with my order, I contacted Woodlore. They were very helpful from the very beginning and I had solved everything within minutes. I can't thank them enough. Great shirt, great shop, great staff, Thanks.

These are fantastic shirts, its my 3rd one and I went a size up so I could add multiple layers underneath. They keep you warm & dry when rain hits.

Thanks to the Woodlore team for another quick service. The shirt is well made and I can see it's going to be warm for the coming winter months, however a t-shirt is needed because (being wool) it is harsh on the skin. I ordered a size down as I like a more fitted shirt and that was the correct thing to do, but the arms are about three inches too long. Not a problem as I can fold them back. All in all I am pleased with it. I gave it four stars instead of five only because of the sleeves being very long.

No school like the old school. Robust, hard wearing shirt. I'm 5'9', average build and an XS fits me well, with a wee bit room for 1 to 2 thin layers underneath. Like other reviews have said, the wool is quite coarse and it really isn't meant to be worn next to your skin, but I don't mind, to be honest. The wool will become easier on your skin after time with a bit wearing and washing to felt the wool together. Really comfy and a simple practical item. The look is quite old fashioned, but I like that. It is quite a long cut as well reaching just to my upper thigh which is welcome to help trap extra warmth. Really pleased with it and glad to finally own one after seeing these all over the place when I was in New Zealand several years ago. Looking forward to wearing it more often when winter starts in.
