Last time I was in New Zealand, Swanndri were very expensive but were 100% pure wool.

Now they are not quite as expensive and are 100% polyester.

I may be wrong but I heard production had moved to China ?

Cheers.

They do provide stuff mate but its the basic stuff like screwfix etc sell and I don't blame them either as expensive stuff would be getting lost left right and centre. We get bekina wellies nowadays which are a mile better than the shite we used to get. 

There is always that aspect to contend with. In the past I've been given boots that needed a hammer taken to them and soaked in polish for a week before wearing them but they still wrecked your feet. I make sure the boots we issue are comfortable to wear straight out the box.

But I will get a call, such and such (usually an apprentice) has left his boots on site and forgot he going to another site after college. Can I order him a new pair? NO!

Fancy trying Swanndri tbh. I've never liked Ridgeline stuff,  had a coat years ago. It was too heavy and sweated my tits off in it lamping , ended up giving it a fella down road who was into his stalking 

I have the smock an jacket by ridgeline an they are kept for on quad bike when it’s real bad weather, wear them doing any kind graft an you lose a stone in sweat haha
