  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I defend the wool overshirt, it's not that warm when worn as a top layer. It's just a shirt with buttons so a breeze will blow right through. Also the swrve one has quite a dry hand feel which makes it more formal/understated.

    It is spendy though, especially compared to 2nd hand Rohan.

  • £130 for a shirt

    That's chainsaw money!
