Swanndri Original Bushshirt - worth it?

[Silverback]

If it's like today I just wear a T Shirt, although the itch factor takes some getting used to.

I was going to ask about that Is it a really big problem? I remember jumpers at Christmas from elderly relatives with misery because I couldn't wear the bloody things but had to when the relatives were visiting

I used to have the same problem with itchy jumpers when I was a nipper, but certainly with the Swanni stuff I don't notice a problem. There is a certain roughness to the garment but I find it quite pleasant....
Her indoors on the other hand jumps like she's been electrocuted if she touches my wool gear.

You worry me sometime Lurch! lol

I've had mine three years now and worn it about the same number of times. Mine's more of a greeny/brown than all the clone green ones but I find it too hot to wear most of the time and too heavy to be bothered carrying in my bergan when a Buffalo special6 shirt does the same job and weighs a lot less.....I have, therefore, been thinking of flogging mine but I'm not sure (I'm a horder and hate selling anything no matter what I replace it with lol )

Cheers,

Bam.

You can get stacks of used swandris in the shops over here. Most are in very good nick. When your only paying $15-20 NZD the fact its second hand doesnt bother you so much. Plus, I suppose, its a form of recycling. Im in the process of trying to set up some stuff with a few Kiwi clothing companies at the moment. If it comes off it may be of use to overseas buyers.

I'm working quite near timaru at the moment , where they have a factory and indeed a rather nicely discounted factory shop.

Its seriously good gear and i wear one for work , just chuck it through the washing machine to get all the sheep sh*t off it , however i'm still packing my buffalo for trips out in the hills.

cheers
