It’s fair to say that you learn to layer as you learn to hunt. Putting it simply, being under or overdressed in the field is no fun.
You need to be warm before dawn then start delaminating as the sun warms you – or slogging uphill does the same job. Then, whatever you take off needs to be light enough to carry for the rest of the hunt.
That’s where the Brocco shirt comes into its own. This fleece hoodie is warm but light. It can be your base layer in winter or top-off a Tee in summer. And that hood’s just right to go over a cap or a beanie.
If you're ordering from outside New Zealand, your country might add its own duties or customs fees when your Swazi gear arrives - These charges are out of our hands, so just be aware that you might need to pay them to collect your parcel. If you’re unsure, it’s worth checking with your local customs office first.

We keep you in the loop - You’ll get a confirmation email once your order’s placed, and another with tracking info the moment it ships.

Great Stuff
I’m crazy about Swazi stuff but I may not purchase anything else. WhenI ordered there was no estimate of import duty and subsequently the delivery company informed me of a duty charge that was more than half the cost of the shirt and that if I didn’t pay the item would be returned to Swazi with no refund. So even though Swazi products are high quality between the high shipping cost and the duty charges it makes it uneconomical to purchase.

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.
