The Swanndri Heritage At Blowes Clothing, we appreciate gear that is built to last generations. Swanndri's legacy began with a waterproof woollen shirt designed for the unpredictable Kiwi climate, and it remains the gold standard for Australian farmers, hunters, and adventurers today:
Iconic Wool Bush Shirts & Hoodies: The classic "Swanny" is crafted from premium ZQ wool, offering natural insulation and shower-proofing. Explore the Ranger and Mosgiel styles, featuring the signature lace-up or zipped necks and functional hoods.
Durable Oilskin Outerwear: For maximum protection against wind and rain, our Swanndri oilskin range-including the Foxton vest and Richmond jacket-provides a breathable, waterproof barrier that only gets better with age.
Versatile Mid-Layers: Beyond heavy outerwear, we stock Swanndri flannel shirts, fleece pullovers, and heavy-duty work shirts like the Bendigo and Okato. These are designed for everyday comfort from the paddock to the pub.
Quality & Sustainability: Swanndri remains committed to using natural fibres like New Zealand wool and durable cotton canvas, ensuring your investment is as sustainable as it is tough.
Australian and New Zealand sizing is the same. However, Swanndri garments are traditionally generous and oversized to allow for heavy layering. If you are between sizes or prefer a more tailored fit, we generally recommend sizing down. Visit us in Orange, Bathurst, or Dubbo for a professional fitting.
To preserve the natural oils in the wool, avoid frequent washing. Spot clean with a damp cloth where possible. For a deep clean, use a cold hand wash with a specific wool detergent and dry flat in the shade to prevent shrinking.
No. Machine washing or using detergents will strip the protective oils and waxes from the fabric. To clean, simply brush off dry dirt or sponge with cold water only. Your oilskin should be re-proofed periodically with wax to maintain its waterproof qualities.
For ultimate warmth, the heavy-weight wool bush shirts and jackets are unbeatable. For layering, the wool-lined oilskin vests provide excellent core warmth while allowing for full arm movement during outdoor tasks.
You can shop our complete range online or visit a Blowes Clothing store in Orange, Bathurst, Mudgee, Dubbo, or Wagga Wagga. Our team are experts in outdoor outfitting and can help you select the right piece for the regional climate.
While Swanndri gear is famously tough, we provide guidance on repairs and can recommend local tailors who specialize in heavy-duty wool and oilskin to ensure your "Swanni" lasts for decades.
