A lot of us love the look and feel of a wool jumper but worry they can’t handle the rough stuff. That’s fair enough, but when wool’s done right nothing could be further from the truth. After all, wool has kept sheep alive for thousands of years of wind, snow and rain.
The Cairnsman is proof of wool’s power: a hard-working jumper that’s soft on you.
Made in New Zealand the Swazi® Cairnsman wool jumper is a return to a classic era of natural yarns, enduring design and traditional craftsmanship.
This two-layered hooded jumper has a 100% New Zealand wool outer, while the inner lining is a soft and comfy mix of New Zealand wool, possum and nylon.
The hood is another piece of Swazi® magic, while the longer back covers your vitals as you bend to work. The leather label represents both the quality of New Zealand wool and the high standard of craft that have been merged to make The Cairnsman an iconic work and casual jersey.

WARM. VERY WARM.
I bought this for an upcoming southeast alaska bear hunting trip. I have been trying it out during a Chicago winter and I am impressed with how warm it is. Seems rugged. I am very happy with this bit of gear.

Almost perfect
It really is an excellent sweater. Quality of materials and craftsmanship is evident. Very warm, very comfortable, and very rugged in my limited experience so far. Even the shipping process was very good considering. Exactly what I wanted in most respects. The only thing that kept me from giving a 5-star review is that I felt the fit was not quite ideal for me. I had to make some guesses on sizing since it's being shipped internationally and I could not try it on. I have a long torso and it feels a bit short in the front, and a little tighter fit than I imagined, just by a hair...not enough to make it unwearable by any stretch of the imagination. Still is a great piece of clothing, this is the only thing keeping it from being perfect.

The best woollen hoody / jersey I’ve owned by a mile.
Had mine over a year.
Worn everyday through the cold months (based in central otago).
Definitely missed on the days you leave her at home.
No holes or rips.

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.

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.
