Swannie sizes (which are right)

[maddave]

My lovely missus is thinking of buying me a swannie bush shirt for chrimbo, and I've seen on the web that different sizes are quoted in inces for the M L and XL, so my question is this. I'm a 42" chest and don't like my clothing too baggy that it's hangin off me so what size would be best ?? I think it's between the L and the XL :shock:

PM gary.. or call him if he doesnt get here first he will sort you our no probs!

 

[jakunen]

Gary would probably be your best bet to answer as he sells them and uses them...

I would say large im 43inch chest and it fits me a treat, med is too small and XL will swamp you..

 

[tenbears10]

I'm a 40inch chest and M has enough room. I would say don't go for xl if you don't like baggy.

I'm like tenbears10, a Swannie "M" fits my scrawny 40" chest about right with enough room underneath for a couple of thin layers. I felt a "L" was just that bit too roomy, so it'll probably do for you.

Cheers,

Well that answer my sizing query too!

 

[Adi007]

All things being equal Maddave, an L should be fine for a 42". Large in fact goes up to 44.

 

[Gary]

Im a 42" myself and I generally opt for a xl in swanni size fits me ok -

- well I think so anyway.

[grumit]

[hootchi]

Iv vagualy thought about getting one but im a small catagory in the chest but 6' 2''. So i need about large/extra large in the arms which would swamp me.??

Can someone tell me in the new TV programme of bush craft first one in episode one in UK was that a Swannie that Mr Mears was wearing with the hood

 

[Adi007]

I think it was a Mosgeil Swannie.

Just after the first show there where some questions about the jacket by some Kitaholics worn by Mr Mears.
Can't find the thread it was in ... , but here is a link to the jacket / swanni (in this case: swazi, actually).

Thanks for that i has anyone had any experience with them i thought it was one of the ones he sells on his site

That Jacket Is a Swazi Thar Anorak

you can view it here
http://swazi.co.nz/product_detail.php?&id=7&section=wet_weather_gear

It's a goretex cagoule designed for hunting in the high country of New Zealands South Island.

Very nice but quite expensive to buy here in NZ about $NZ 600.00

hope this helps

Its a ranger shirt but the sizing is the same for each garment - so a xl ranger is the same size as a bushshirt ect - well spotted though!
