- Is this the Best Mountain Shirt in the world? I've spent a very long time trying to decide on the best wool shirt for me. A wool shirt that will withstand all weathers and all the activities I enjoy out in nature. I found McNair over a year ago online and after much deliberation I took the plunge! They claim to be the best and have a great reputation. The shirts are expensive but are they worth it...? #McNair #Mountainshirt

Nice.
Reminds me of the old Swedish Army jackets.
All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧
Thanks - The quality is unreal!
So appreciate your detailed experience share. I enjoyed your presentation and went on to purchase McNair. They have been some of my absolute best wears and have made my life better. Cheers to all of your work on this video and to McNair. Keep up the great work.
Cheers buddy - great to hear! They are awesome. I think I might do a follow up vid in Autumn as I’ve had loads of good use out of it.
Great vid mate, looking forward to seeing that shirt out in the field/wood on further adventures! So nice when you're given that customer experience with a premium purchase.
Cheers mate, my wife wasn't too happy with the purchase!! So far it's been well used, I can highly recommend :)
@@jayaway1361 Would she have been half as unhappy if it cost half as much?! I’m sure it will long outlast the initial cost. ATB mate, I’m off to look at the McNair site!
@@JamiedoesWildBikepacking Nice - yeah see what you think mate, some great products :)
The shirt looks awesome mate, very nice! Awesome video, the soup looked really good.
Cheers buddy, much appreciated 👍
i just got my first wool shirt recently and i love it. i got one in an old cowboy blanket blue style and its petty awesome. so far every girl that has seen it hates it but all my guy friends want one haha. its a great shirt for men and outdoors
Finally met up with these guys and the lovely Natalie at the Three Counties Show in Malvern, as i knew it would need customisation - cant wait for it to arrive
Ah, mate - enjoy. You'll love it :)
@Jay Away I'm happy to see your great experience with the shirt/ jacket. I just bought a charcoal grey virgin wool jacket and vicariously enjoying your hike until I can get out for a hike later this week. I have decided to convert my wardrobe from polyester to wool. It cuts down on airborne microplastics for health. Plus, wool is completely comfortable and the most temperature wide range fabric made ( including alpaca and other animal fibers.) God knew what He was doing from the start didn't He? I have cotton over coats, driver, field Jak I need to retreat with bees wax for rain protection. Like all the goodness of natural textiles.
You mentioned how breathable the shirt is. That's the key. It's not clammy like recycled milk jugs. Lol. If it drops to way below freezing, the heavy vintage hunting coats are nice, as are the baggy wool pants, socks and merino long johns. I suppose you will enjoy that manly shirt for many years. God bless you sir.
Next time take the blanket for the dog! Great video review - booked my fitting for Monday!
Great stuff - enjoy 👍
Great shirt highly made I can tell top quality
WHAT a shirt. I am currently looking at shirts from Schott NYC (one of the finest leather jacket makers in the world, one of which I am a proud owner). They do wool shirts in the ~$150-200. This McNair is just beautiful though.
I was dubious when you said how much you were about to spend on a shirt but totally get it now.
Yeah, it's really well made. Great quality so should last me a very long time! :)
Love mine in red, looking to get a second one soon❤
You can't go wrong can you. I want another one now!
Any help on sizing? I’m in the states. I see the sizing suggestions on the site, but it seems they’re a trim fit, and I want to use as an outer layer, wear hoodie or flannel underneath. I’m a 46 chest in blazers, and usually have to order for my broad chest and shoulders. So it looks like I need XXL, I’m just worried about the sleeve length? Not sure. But any sizing experience would be appreciated. I can’t find much online.
Looks great. Don’t put any weight on ,Been on web site and seen the prices , nice treat
Hey uncs, thanks, I've wanted one for ages! :)
Must. Buy. Shirt.
You must! 😉

awesome video mate. Out of interest, which fit/ colour did you go for? Ash/ standard/ heavyweight? (With some serious personalisation?)
Thanks mate. I went for the standard weight and had it altered to fit my purpose (bushcraft). It’s a superb shirt. I’m very happy and it’s been through the mill already!
Can I ask what jacket you’re wearing during the first few minutes of the video? Looks great
Sure, it’s a Regatta. Not sure where I bought it from, it’s a few years old. Very warm 👍
Jay, you mentioned you had to send back the shirt for some alterations. May I ask what alterations they made? I'm in the States and I too am ordering the MTM option. They charge a lot for international shipping so I want to make sure to avoid the same "mistakes" you encountered. Thanks for your feedback.
Mine was a little lose around the shoulders, I sent it back and it was back with me in a few days and fit perfectly. I’m sure it’s not a common occurrence. Being in the states you want it right first time. As long as you are accurate with your measurements I’m sure you’ll be fine. If you get it and it fits you well, you’ll be chuffed to bits. With the cold weather turning here now, I wear it all the time. I love it!!!
@@jayaway1361 Thank you. I ordered the exact model as you in MTM too. I can't wait.
@@davealincoln awesome!!!

Wool or Linen. The elite materials of the world. Even Bible mentions these fabrics. They're expensive but worth it. Linen is more expensive than wool but so worth it.
I agree 👍
@@jayaway1361 I got a handmade linen polo and it was $120. So much better than your typical cotton, polyester, viscose, silk etc.
@@user-pj5ju9sm5r sounds great, I’ll have to read up a bit on linen! 👍
@@jayaway1361 btw never wear wool and linen together
@@user-pj5ju9sm5r ah, why is that?
Is that the Ash Melange color or Arctic Silver color? I'm about to buy this exactly model because of your video. Please let me know the exact color.
I’m pretty sure it was the ash Dave. It was their most popular colour. She said most people opted for it 👍
@@jayaway1361 Great to know!
maybe add a merino base layer, rather than at shirt - Findra in Scotland do good ones
I've seen Findra but never tried so perhaps I will. I currently have Aclima base layers, really warm, great stuff!
HH wool base layer are OG.
How do you like this shirt a year later?
Hi Rob - I love it. It has been out in all weathers and kept me warm in frosts. Never washed it, doesn't smell, hasn't shown any signs of wear. It's a top bit of kit and it's always in the car :)
Any for women??But if it's wool, I'll be itching and scratching for ages 😂
Yes they certainly do loads for women. It’s merino wool so it’s soft and comfy ;)
Had mine for years, wearing it right now in fact. Not itchy at all. Soft, comfy and warm as hell. Absolutely wicked kit!!
Till it rains or snows.
