  • Swrve combat wool shirt. You only need one because it's more of an overshirt. Otherwise eBay Rohan will be the most ethical and probably best.

  • Oof, £130. Not opposed to spending that much if it will last a good few years though, have you got one?

    Was looking at Patagonia/Kathmandu/etc. on eBay, will add Rohan to the list. I think second-hand probably best bet if I want a bundle of them. But nearly everything seems to be cotton.

    @Tonts aiming a bit lower than that on the budget! Ideally will buy 5 and wear one a day

    @HousecatHST looks like short sleeve only? Want long sleeves I think.

  • Yep, buying second hand will be your best bet. Patagonia Fjord or something like that.

  • Pendleton male wool shirts

  • Sliding in your DMs

  • Have got one + the 'work jacket'. I cosign them both. Put a lot of wear onto the shirt last winter (wore it basically every day + on holiday hiking in the lakes) and intend to do the same this winter.

    Truth be told, there are probably cheaper things available that will last as long, but I do really like mine. (Bought it in their kickstarter so paid a bit less than the 130)

  • I posted about this before I think.

    The VERY best are Rohan second hand short sleeve from eBay. Checked patterns, many colours available. Lovely soft synthetic blend. Expect to pay no more than £8. They also do some long sleeve. But short sleeve plus lightweight fleece (100wt / grid fabric) or wind shirt is better.

    Wool is way too hot, same for flannel, and seriously £130 for a shirt so you can look like a pretend lumberjack? Come off it.
