A men's flannel shirt with soft terry jersey sleeves, a lined hood and a full front dome closure. A casual layer built for the days when comfort is the priority. Warm, practical and the kind of shirt that earns its place in the everyday rotation.
The Apprentice is a comfortable flannel shirt with enough room through the chest and body to wear on its own or over a T-shirt or lightweight layer. The long tail gives you extra coverage at the back, while the soft jersey sleeves and relaxed shape keep it comfortable when you're moving.
Fit: Comfortable through the chest and body with room for easy movement
Layering: Room to wear over a T-shirt or lightweight base layer, or underneath a waterproof jacket
Movement: Relaxed shape gives you plenty of room to reach, bend and work
Body: Long tail sits lower at the back for better coverage when bending or moving
Arms: Soft jersey sleeves give you comfortable room to move without feeling restrictive
Hood: Lined hood with a drawcord lets you adjust the fit around your head and neck
Overall feel: Warm, soft and comfortable without feeling overly bulky
Sizing: Your usual size should give you the intended comfortable fit

Casual Shirts For Men
There's a reason flannel never goes out of fashion. The Apprentice is the Swazi take on a classic — built to be worn hard and looked good in regardless. 100% cotton check flannel body with soft 80/20 cotton-polyester terry jersey sleeves that feel good against the skin and hold up to daily wear without complaint. Warm enough to work as a mid layer under a waterproof when the temperature drops, comfortable enough to wear on its own when it doesn't.
Full front Swazi® dome closure. Buttoned chest pocket for your essentials. Lined hood with knotted drawcord for when the wind picks up. Long tail keeps your back covered when you bend. Swazi leather patch on the rear yoke. Available in granite, ranger, navy and olive. Hard-wearing enough for the outdoors, decent enough for wherever the day ends up.

Just feels great
Looks good which is a bonus but just feels amazing to wear, think its the material on the arms, can't put my finger on it. Use it for outdoor contracting but also sneak it on for casual cos it looks great.

Apprentice Shirt
Warm, smart, fits well and is very tempting to purchase a second.
However you never know what these guys will introduce to the range next.

What is the Swazi Warranty?
All Swazi garments are unconditionally warranted against faulty fabric and workmanship. We reserve the right to repair or replace at our discretion. We have a specific page for more details on our warranty and repairs and returns policies here.
Will I have to pay customs on an international order?
International customers are solely responsible for payment of all duties, import taxes and customs fees.
These fees are not included in the cost of shipping and we are unable to provide estimates of what this will cost as it will depend entirely on the garment and what charges your own government imposes.
Please check with your local customs agent for more details.
Can I change or cancel my order?
We process orders very quickly, which means in most cases, we can't make changes after an order has been placed. We definitely cannot make changes after we have sent a shipping confirmation email with a tracking link.
In saying that, if you have already placed an order and would like to cancel or change it, please email us service@swazi.co.nz or call 64 6 368 4822 within 2 hours of placing your order. We will do the best we can.
How do I know what size I need?
