Damn cool Fall / Winter shirt Jacket . Fine quality and good fit for a size small . Recommend a size down when you order.
Really appreciate the 5 stars! Great to hear the shirt jacket’s working out and that you’re happy with the fit and feel. Thanks for passing along the sizing tip- that’ll help other folks find their perfect fit too.
I like the shirt, but I’m very disappointed that it’s made in Vietnam. I thought it was made in the states.
I don't enjoy writing bad reviews but I consider purchases of this price worthwhile of discussion and criticism.
The fabric itself is soft compared to some brands but not exceptionally so. I believe this softness is due to the fabric being blended with polyester, which obviously makes this cheaper to manufacture. Considering this also comes from China i believe this is priced too high.
The shirt weighs 34.4 oz but doesn't feel thicker, heavier or warmer than other wool shirts that I've bought which weigh close to 10 ounces less. I'm not sure how that's possible but this material feels thin and less durable than other 100% wool options. 80% of it's weight is 27.52 ounces of wool.
I really was looking forward to a heavy thick shirt but I didn't receive that. If this item was 44 ounces maybe it would've met expectations.
Aside from that it's a nice slightly less itchy wool shirt. Wouldn't recommend this purchase to my friends over buying some vintage filson or stormy kromer on ebay.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We truly appreciate hearing from our customers, even when the experience doesn't meet expectations.
We designed our Expedition garments with an 80% fine wool / 20% recycled polyester blend to offer a balance of warmth, comfort, and durability. The polyester helps the shirt hold its shape over time and stand up to wear and washing, but we totally understand that some customers prefer the feel and weight of a 100% wool option.
We’re really sorry this piece didn’t deliver what you were hoping for. If there’s anything we can do to help—whether it’s an exchange, return, or just answering questions—we’d be happy to hear from you directly.
Thanks again for giving us a try.

The Expedition Sportsman Guide Shirt is a wonderful shirt. It's very well made, is comfortable to wear and is just the right weight. I recommend it highly and am very happy that I got it.

Purchased for my husband's birthday. He is usually a medium but likes sweatshirts large. This particular shirt sized medium was perfect as it is a wide fit and will easily work with any shirt heaviness underneath.
WSS,

We understand the importance of finding the right fit, and we're happy that our medium size worked perfectly for him. We hope he enjoys wearing it with different layers for added warmth.

Wore this as insulating layer in cold weather on forestry projects. Warm and is softer than comparable wool shirts. It provides room to layer underneath. In washer on delicate cold, flat dried, looks good didn’t shrink that I noticed. Seemed washing made it softer. Lining in collar is a plus. Good practical cold weather work shirt for me.
Mark,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our Sportsman Guide Shirt White Mountain Woolen. We are delighted to hear that it has been a reliable and comfortable insulating layer for your cold weather forestry projects.
We take pride in using high-quality materials, and we are pleased to know that the wool of our shirt is softer than others you have tried. We also appreciate your feedback on the roomy fit and the added bonus of the lining in the collar.
We are glad to hear that the shirt maintained its shape and softness after washing on a delicate cycle and flat drying. We will certainly take note of your comment that washing it made it even softer.

Very happy with my new shirts but disappointed they aren't American made with American wool they are very comfortable and warm
Jon,
Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear that you are happy with your new shirts! We understand your disappointment regarding the country of origin for the wool used. We will definitely take your feedback into consideration. In the meantime, we hope you continue to enjoy the comfort and warmth of your shirts.

The wool quality of this shirt is perfect for being a stand in for a jacket. I normally wear a large, but ordered this XL so I could wear it over other clothing as a jacket. I believe this garnet will last for many years. I ordered the grey version so it could be a business casual jacket when I travel, but I now want the plaid version for camping and fishing.
Peter,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review on the Sportsman Guide Shirt White Mountain Woolen. It should last you for years, our former president still is walking around in one he has had for 10 years!
I very rarely leave reviews, but this purchase warranted one. I am very pleased with this shirt. I am impressed with the weight of the fabric- heavier than I expected. Also, it doesn’t itch. I also like the cut of the shirt. It’s oversized, but not ridiculously so. If you are looking to purchase a wool overshirt, consider this one.
Michael,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review for the Sportsman Shirt White Mountain Woolen. We were so excited to bring this classic back and we are glad you like it as much as we do!

This shirt replaces the threadbare wool shirt my mother gave me long ago. It's not from Mom but it keeps her memory alive.
Hollo,
Thank you for your review of the Sportsman Shirt White Mountain Woolen. We're glad to hear that it's a suitable replacement for the old shirt your mother gave you.

I have used wool products my whole life and I have a practice of ordering a size up, washing it in hot water, and drying it on hot to thicken up and soften the fabric. Crazy I know. It takes some practice and care. I tried my method on this shirt and it worked perfectly. The wool is a very fine quality and super soft. This is definitely my new favorite winter shirt. I think the price point is very good for a shirt of this quality.
Hey Dave!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are happy to hear that you are pleased with the Sportsman, it is a classic piece and we are pumped to have it back!
-Minus33
I love this shirt.
Yes. It runs big, I'm normally XL, bought the large, and it is just right. Still a little room in it.
What I really like about this compared to other shirts that I have similar to this are the extra button on the cuff, the button on the open area above the cuff, and the lining around the collar and inside those cuffs.
This is a great design. Please don't change anything other than maybe sew it in USA.
The wool quality is very good, and does not itch. I washed it as per instructions, and it did not shrink.
Would buy again.
CP,

Ok, the pros first. The shirt itself is what you expect from Minus33, great quality, warm, and appears to be a great shirt for cool days or a mid layer for when it get really cold. Stitching looks very good and robust, appears to be good for either tucked or untucked. The main con of this shirt is the design. It's built like a square sack with holes or for someone who has an enormous belly and fat arms. I am 6'3" and weight about 260lbs, but have an athletic build. I bought the XXL, which is my normal size with Minus33 shirts and vests, and they fit very well because of the athletic cut design. This shirt fit me in the shoulders very nice, but the rest of the shirt was incredibly big on me and loose (which is saying something, trust me...lol). A little loose is good, but this was quite billowy, and if I lept off a roof I think it might have doubled as a parachute! I did speak with Minus33 and their customer service was fantastic as always. They explained it is a new product and they are taking feedback, and offered to return it or exchange for a size down. Here is the final word on it though...I was afraid to go down a size because the shoulders fit great on the XXL, and I thought the XL would likely be too tight there. I told them I was keeping it, and paid out of pocket to have alterations to it to fit me correctly. That says a lot, at least to me. All in all I still give the shirt itself a 4/5 just because once it fit right it was really good. I wish the inside was made of a bit more softer merino (if that's possible?), but my only real chief complaint was the design. If they made it more of an athletic cut, it would be great.
Casey,
Thank you for taking the time to give us your detailed feedback and review on your Minus33 White Mountain Woolen Sportsman Shirt! We are pleased to hear that you are satisfied with the overall quality of the garment and warmth that it provides. We apologize that the fit of the Sportsman was not exactly what you were looking for and that it was big on you in certain areas.

Will a xxl fit me being a 55 inch chest?
Hey Will,
The chest measurement on the XXL is 58 inches so, it should fit you! That being said, we understand that you may not know how something is going to work until you try it. If you get it and it does not work, just let us know and we can get you set up for a return or an exchange if it is too big!
-Minus33
What's is the sizing for this piece of clothing? i am a 42" chest. Would like to order correctly.
Hi Russell,
The intended fit of this garment is to be an outer layer that you can fit 1-2 layers underneath. That being said i also have a 42" chest but i'm on the shorter side and i've found that I prefer the fit of the medium, while only wearing one midweight long sleeve underneath. It really comes down to your personal preferences and your preferred fit. If you try a size and it does not work for you, we will gladly set you up an exchange to get you the correct size.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
-Steven D
