  The Boreal Shirt 

We're taking the venerable WBS a step further towards total outdoor utility. The Boreal Shirt uses the same generous pattern, the same wonderful fabric, and it carries the same ironclad promise. If we failed to do our job and it comes apart, we'll make it right again. (Same silly stipulations as the WBS: no spruce bough luge accidents, swimming class 6, chainsaw toss, etc, etc.)

The full coverage hood rides just high enough to cover your hat, but it still fits inside a shell. Crank down the visor to cradle your face, or open the gusset and drop the top for warmer days. The huge front pocket is perfect for warming your hands. Inside you'll find two D rings anchors, a zippered pocket for valuables, and three pouches for foraging and holding tools. 

We stamped low profile snaps to the cuffs to seal out chills. They're slim enough to stay out of your way, and they won't clog or collect burrs. You can wear the hem open to cover your bottom, or cinch it up for a more agile profile. Like our Camp Coat and Jackpine Vest, all our load bearing hardware is stainless steel anchored in nylon webbing. (Boreal Shirts have muted black grommet at the neck to reduce glare.) You can replace our draw cords and cord locks without breaking a stitch.

Fabric: 20 ounce imported wool/nylon (80/20 percent by weight). 100% nylon trim. Colors: Olive Green or Navy Blue. Sizes: SM-XXL. Machine or hand wash cold, gentle cycle with mild soap, air dry, expect lint.

To find your size, you can compare these dimensions taken from a completed product, laid flat, and not stretched. They represent a conservative estimate. Should you find a torso size that matches you needs but the length does not, ask about a custom fitted garment. Custom fitting may incur patterning and material expense.
