WTG: Camoflage Swanndri shirt

I am in the US, North Carolina.

Looking for an XL (size 44-46 chest) swanndri hunting shirt. I do not believe they have made them for 10-15 years. Cannot find one here, so thought I would go straight to where they were made.

Here is a pic of my old one. I have used it for 25 years and looking for another.

email hermanharke@aol.com if you have one for sale and want to part with it.

I need pics, price (state whether NZ or US), condition of any holes tears etc. size and most importantly if it is still the same size as the label ie it did not shrink 2 sizes

Have a look at pgg wrightsons, farmsource, Rd1 and other supply stores, swanndri is still being produced maybe not the exact model you had

Yes, but there is a difference in the weave also. I have several other swanndri shirts now. I am after the older one like the pic. I can get the othes here in the US

I've only ever seen a couple of camo versions and that was a long time ago. The good thing with the old Swanni was that the fabric was put through a hot wash which pre shrunk it, increasing its waterproofing and avoiding further shrinkage (so any excuse about it shrinking is invalid ;))

An eye out here is probably your best bet.

I've never seen a Swandri in that cammo pattern before. I've only seen the DPM cammo ones.

Swandri brand I mean, not that useless woolen jacket the army issued in the late 80s and early 90s.

Yeah i remember those, i think we had to hand in our second hand DPM jacket(british) for a new camo swandri with full zip, gee they took up alot of space in the alice pack.
