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.

FUNCTION
Cold weather protection
Wool is one of the most effective natural forms of all-weather protection. It has a naturally high UV resistance, is flame retardant, and can regulate body temperature by absorbing and releasing moisture away from the body. Wool is ideal for year-round comfort, it is never too hot or never too cold. The fibres resilience ensures garments keep their easy care quality for years.

What an experience
Like all of my other Swazi stuff, as soon as I popped this sucker on I was stoked.
Ive had many of New Zealand's "rural wear" staples, and unlike the other brands ( where I guess keeping you warm is fending off a slight chill while waiting for the bus in the city) Swazi feels like its actually designed for outside in rural Otago. Mornings are a lot less brutal with the Cairnsman.
The b@st@rd fur inside it is really warm and still breathable, its really a two for one.
I've had mine for a month now and even after a few wash cycles it still feels new.

Solid piece of kit
Appears well made, resists picks, and looks good. Have worn less than 10 times and haven’t washed yet, so I can’t speak to durability. I’m sensitive to wool, slightly scratchy w short sleeve underneath (not a deal breaker), zero issue with sun shirt base layer.
I’m 5’11 205lbs broad shoulders, XL fits very well.
Shipping to US was around a week.

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.
