The Boreal Shirt is a full coverage Wool shelter for your woodland pursuits.

With a generous fit and rugged construction, this shirt might never return to your closet. It's cut long enough to shield your hips, and wide to stuff with layers.

The wrists cinch shut with stainless steel snaps, while the hood and neck gauntlet close down with draw cords. There's a bungee at the hem to stop drafts and let you adjust the length. The front pocket offers shelter for your hands, and multiple storage pouches for gathering. There's even a zippered pocket for your valuables and two lashing rings for keys or tools.

Wool is naturally flame retardant, antibacterial, and resistant to dirt and oils. It holds body heat when it's wet, and wicks moisture away from your body to regulate your personal environment.   You'll spend less time worrying about staying clean, working with fire in camp, or changing your layers when the temperatures shift. What's more, we've pre-shrunk the fabric so you can care for it at home.

Handmade with pride in Duluth, Minnesota.

Durable, Rugged, Outdoor Jacket Built to Last a Lifetime

    Black with Multicam Black

    Posted by Paul on Nov 23rd 2023

    I have been wearing the Boreal Shirt for 6 years and it is my go to outer layer. Superior craftsmenship without a doubt. This year I added the Field Jacket. The flexibility is better in certain situations such as sitting by the fire for easy on and off, quick access to internal pockets, etc. I know, I'm stating the obvious, but both have their place, The black with multicam black Field Jacket that I have is soft to the touch and looks great!

    Remember that blanket in Basic/Boot Camp you couldn't fold...

    Posted by Fred C. on Sep 14th 2022

    ... w/o an iron or while wet? It was the blanket you wanted to keep your skinny butt warm but the last one you wanted for inspection. That's what these are made of and the indestructible reputation is only overshadowed by the attention to detail put into it's construction. You won't be disappointed and if you're lie me wearing it will remind you of a simpler time when the world made sense.

    My husband loves it

    Posted by Michelle Boucher on Jun 11th 2022

    My husband has been raving about this product for the better half of a year. We finally had some extra money and he still brought it up as the one thing he wanted. I could tell he really wanted it. Well I secretly ordered it and it came a few days early! I held the secret until my husband came home and he was blown away happy. Even though it's 80 degrees today he proudly put it on and it for perfect. He is about 5"11 and 180ish pounds and the large fits perfectly.

    Wool Boreal Shirt

    Posted by Scott on Jan 9th 2022

    Absolutely the best hunting/outdoor garment that I have ever bought. I spend all of my free winter time out in the snow and cold coyote hunting and have never been more cozy. I spent most of my day yesterday walking through snow covered fir trees in the low 20°'s and then I did a 3 hour sit last night that started at 14° and dropped to 1°. My upper body didn't get cold at all. The fit is perfect also. There's plenty of room for freedom of movement without any bulking or clumping up and it is very gun user friendly. It never gets in the way shouldering or handling a rifle and extra mags/ gear fit nice and quite in the individual pouches inside the pocket. This garment has had some serious thought put into it and it all shows in the field. Thank you for making such a great product.

    Boreal hoody

    Posted by Bruce from TN on Jun 6th 2021

    I've had mine for 4 years, and I use it every year hunting in Northern MN and TN. It is comfortable over a large temp range, the pocket is great, and it hasn't pilled at all yet. I love it so much I bought a jacket this year!
