hi all,who has heard of the woolen egmont shirt?
i have just got hold of one,but cant find any info on them,
are they linked to swandri?are they still being made?and who can rate it?thanks...

Yes heard of them.. They were a budget competitor to Swanndri. Not being made AFAIK

Not sure about the Egmont. bit the production of the Swanndri ranger Xtreme has ceased

What a crazy and ridiculous decision by Swanndri.

Not really if your not selling enough you stop making them... Simple economics... Swanndri are changing as a brand and they are attempting to leaver off of the old heritage products into a new range of more mainstream clothing... Sad for some but good news for others... It's not an economically viable model to keep making garments that last ages and look a bit 'industrial' and are expensive when your competition is banging out stuff for 1/4 of the cost and it looks better and lasts reasonably well. Most 'mainstream' consumers would prefer the latter option especially here in thrifty NZ...
