I've been at this a long time and every year people are looking for wool during hunting season.
We found wool shirts in great shape and in size Large, Medium and Small.
They are Canadian Army and issued into the 1990's, then they switched over to Poly Fleece.
This is another troublesome Surplus Product because once you have a wool shirt I really cannot sell you a second.
They last forever and the older they get the comfier they are.
If you haven't experienced a wool shirt like this it's time you invested and made that contented smile.

What is large? Chinese large fits a 10 year old. US large fits a hippo who has eaten at the buffet table once too often.

Canadian large is made in Pakistan?

Collarbsize, chest size would be appreciated.

Price?

Touch the link dude.....$49.95; chest size 40-44
 
If one wore a 7040 Cadpat top what would the suggested size for these wool tops be?
 
Are the sleeves long enough for taller people with proportionate sized arm length? Say 6'- 6'2?
 
Wool is the best thing in the woods, but I’m more concerned that the arms will be too long .... I need the arms to be big but shorter lol .... we all fit different otherwise the large would probably fit me best. Buying clothes online is always tough for me when it comes to fitting lol.

Are these supposed to fit like a light jacket or more like a shirt?
 
The thickness of the material is thicker than Old school wool blankets and just thinner than a Pea Coat.
The cut length of the "shirt" is not so long that you can tuck in the waist.
Your Long Underwear shirt your plaid cotton Flannel shirt then this over top with a Gore-tex shell. or stand alone.
Think of this a Wool "Levis Jean Jacket"

The sleeve length on the Medium Large and XL measures 35" Give or take 1/2 inch.
Wool has more flex than a poly cotton shirt.


All of the shirts are listed as Regular length. designed for a Canadian standing 5'9" - 6'0"
That said I'm 6'2 and the cuff comes back a little, but not scratching the elbow.
Whats an acceptable fit is more personal preference than a hard and fast figure.

Bought a cheap red 'made in china' hunting shirt at an army surplus store in sudbury years ago.
It was fine until I got caught in a heavy rain shower in the bush and my undershirt, underwear and all the skin on my torso wound up a patchy burgundy red.
It took a couple of showers and a lot of armstrong with a scrub brush before it came off.
