Bison bushcraft guide shirt for trade

[Hibrion]

Hi guys. I have a Bison bushcraft guide shirt in Autumn colour, size medium, for trade.

These are great shirts and the forum is littered with evidence of that, they are well worth the high price tag. This shirt has been worn, but is in as new condition. It was a little big for me, but I now have a small so this is surplus to requirements. I had thought about keeping it for the inevitable expansion of my waist line in the future, but I now have a hankering for a new axe.

Specifically I'm after a Gransfors Bruks wildlife hatchet, or an outdoor axe, but I will consider other high quality axes of any sort. I already have a small forest axe, so I'm not interested in one of those.

See the link below for details and an indication of trade value. It seems there is a backlog for ordering these at the moment too.

Thanks

P.S. Laid out flat the measurements of the shirt are:
pit to pit: 24 inches
sleeves: 26 inches
from neck to hem straight down the back: 32 inches

Man anything other than my outdoor axe I'd debate trading as I fancy one of those shirts....
But not the outdoor axe
good luck with the trade I hope you have sucess

 

[Hibrion]

Both the axe and the shirt are the best in their field aright. let me know if you change your mind

 

[Man of Tanith]

The phrase cold dead hands springs to mind mate

 

[Hibrion]

Haha.. sure as long as you have an axe to split fire wood your hands will be kept nice and warm!

I have a S A Wetterlings hatchet I may be looking to re home ....
Though I am already having withdrawal symptoms....
Is it really that good a shirt?

 

[Hibrion]

I hadn't considered a Wetterlings. Any more info on it?

They are by far the best wool shirts I've experienced. Their reputation proceeds them, I think.

Well looked after, no rust or pitting, sharp and I have sanded and Danish oiled the haft. Still have the leather guard but I cut off the pant belt loop that was riveted to it coz it was pants

 

[Hibrion]

Thanks, Blood. It isn't quite what I'm looking for though. The head is just a little too heavy as it is basically the same weight as my small forest axe. But thank you for the offer.

Pity its not a large, as I have the hatchet your after

 

[Hibrion]

They are definitely large fitting, Ozzy. I can measure it for you if you want to double check.

 

[Blood]

It's no bother, thanks for considering

 

[ozzy1977]

If you that would be great.

 

[Hibrion]

Laid out flat the measurements are approximately:

pit to arm pit: 24 inches
sleeves: 26 inches
from neck to hem straight down the back: 32 inches

 

[ozzy1977]

Ok I am interested, how do you want to proceed.

 

[Hibrion]

Do you want to PM me the details of the axe?

 

[Hibrion]

Still available

I would also consider trades for canvas packs such as Frost River or Duluth. I'm happy to put cash or other items towards more expensive items or accept the same to make up the difference
