wool shirts recomendations

[vizsla]

Evening im after a couple of new wool shirts for work, i already have swanndri, pendleton but i was hoping for something a bit cheaper for work.
Any ideas thanks

id say the wool shirts on rokit.com are probably the cheapest going. can get the same sort on ebay tae

bought a woolrich a while back. Much heavier then pendleton and much warmer. Real wool feel, whereas the pendleton is more synthetic like I reckon. Second that for Rokit, not bad, but fleabay can come up with the odd woolrich on the cheap now and again.

Watch the sizing on old woolies. They're all over the place with what S,M and L means and the sleeves are normally rather short.

Rokit do pit to pit measurements too. Well worth a look.

Thanks for the Roket recommendation - had never heard of them. Just bagged a bargain:

nice, i had my eye on that but im a size M got a crackin pendleton fae there though. i like having the lightweight wool underneath my thick bison shirt works well for me

For a lightweight wool shirt on a budget, look out for old army ones. I have a couple. They are much lighter than pendleton/woolrich, have a couple of handy breast pockets and will take some hammer.

Going to keep my eye on that site. Cheers for the link.

ebay & Pendleton.

Well my pendleton arrived on Friday and I'm very pleased with it - it looks almost like tweed (Olive and Ochre) and is thin but very warm. The only downside is that the cut is a little short. Arms and chest are fine but it doesn't seem to drop as far below the belt as modern shirts. But all in all very pleased.

nice one. i spied an old duluth pack on there for around £45 once but someone beat me tae it before payday

Try looking for Canadian Surplus field shirt or the US Korean wool field shirt. They're either 80% or 85% wool with the rest being Nylon. I actually prefer them to my Swanndri

I know someone who is selling a bison bush shirt , the one with the lace up front for £80, is this a good price and are they good shirts ?

 

[mrcairney]

They're £225 new, so yes, a good price
