Bison Bushcraft Shirt

[Acuspell 329]

I think the original Swan Dri are the ones to get - mine is 1977 vintage. I bought it for when I was shooting deer in NZ on the eradication scheme. It is still good for another 30 years!

Not anymore mate, they're made in china nowadays and are rubbish compared to the old NZ stuff. I've an old NZ army wool coat(in dpm no less) and it's heavy as hell compared to their new stuff( which you can practically see through). But like other successful outfitters they've dropped their standards.

I was trying to source a Swanndri shirt when i found out about the Bison ones. Like Gurtwurz said, they are now made in China and the quality isn't as good as it used to be.

For £90 they f***ing should be

Good job I still have my original one then! It weighs about 10lbs - just a throw over bush shirt, in blue/black check with grey interior. I wore it almost daily when I was out there and right through the 80s - it has worked hard.

Spread that over 20 years? - as with anything, good quality ALWAYS works out better value.

 

Have a look at the Bush Shirt at £245 - I am seriously considering one. It will see me out and be an heirloom!

Buy cheap, buy twice!

i was dribbling when i was checking those bushshirts out when i got my bison, they are seriously well made and i reckon will outlast just about any other brand of coat out there. although theres some similar bushshirts out there that are handmade by two lovely lasses, although i reckon theyre even better, with leather shoulder and elbow reinforcement on top of all the bison quality and theyre about the same price. i cant remember the girls companys name offhand though...

If it isn't your cup of tea, you don't have to sip from the cup.

 

It has saved me from buying another Swandri - I had no idea they weren't of the same quality as my od one. It has given me mmore information togo shopping with - and hopefully anyone else who has read all the input.

 

Gortworz - WHEN you remember who those two girls are...I am interested!

here you go acuspell mate, those girls run a firm called maude and fox, google that and you should find what youre after mate, if not their phone number is 01258 489 628. what impressed me about the kit was that it wasnt just really well made gear, its just these two lovely lasses hand making everything so i reckon any british firm making quality kit should be supported during these troubled times since otherwise we'll all be stuck with the usual shite from deerhunter etc...
