A great all round outer top

I love the thicker fleece and the 2 front chest pockets. A very practical piece of outer clothing - my favourite top.

Cozy overshirt

I bought the shirt to get me through the cold autumn and winter days, and as someone doing landscaping in the elements all day, it absolutely does the trick. Kweps me warm, looks smart, and has pretty much become my just in case layer that I always keep on hand.

For reference i'm 81kg & 178cm tall, purchased the large and it fits well

Mostly good

Good thick material. Fit is a bit tight though. Sleeve button fell off immediately after putting it on, and Swazi hasn't responded to any of my e-mails about getting replacement button/ shirt.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Do you have Swazi retail stores?

We do have a Swazi shop right next door to Swazi HQ here in Levin, New Zealand.

We only sell our products through the very best retailers - we're very selective about who we have representing our gear! Find out where your nearest store is by clicking on the Swazi Stockists section or click here for the quick link.

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?

Every individual product page has a link to our size chart.
