ABOUT THE BISON BUSHCRAFT CLOTHING RANGE
As you can see by our ethical policy we are firm believers in the use of natural fibres. They give maximum comfort, do not release toxins, wear well, can have outstanding performance in extreme climates and above all are better in production for the environment.
Our ever expanding line of clothing is all made in the UK. We have specifically sought out people to work with us who run small businesses, who give reliable and quality service. We are therefore supporting our economy as well as using local products that don’t travel around the world to get here before assembly. We are proud to say our clothing is made in The UK from UK materials. We aim to supply to all kinds of outdoors people from the Bushcraft community (our roots) to hunters and stalkers, nature watchers, campers, hikers and anyone who wishes to enjoy nature wearing clothing that is a part of nature.

Bison Bushcraft Guide Shirt
Working towards our ethical policy of supplying kit that is sourced closer to home we are proud to offer the Bison Bushcraft Guide Shirt as a direct replacement for the Swanndri ranger shirts that are now unavailable. We have these shirts made to our own design here in The UK from 100% British wool. They are designed to be equally at home when worn as part of your layering system when in the wilderness or as an everyday garment for around town or home.
These shirts have a specifically designed colour scheme and fabric finish that blends in with nature without looking overtly camouflage or military when out of the woods. We have chosen a “granddad“ style collar for comfort and a proper sewn hem on the bottom of the shirt allowing it to be worn outside or comfortably tucked inside your trousers. The shoulder yoke is made in two layers of material for wear and weather resistance. Each shirt has one chest pocket with the bison Bushcraft logo on it.
Colour - Autumn
Product Price: £86.50
Bison Bush Shirt
The Bush Shirt is made from the finest Islay Tweed and lined with luxurious cotton moleskin. It features a hood (moleskin lined), two breast pockets, a hand warmer pocket (moleskin lined), a drawstring hem, and lace up neck placket with an antler button/tab top fastening.
We’ve found this to be a perfect top to use as an outer layer/coat or as a jumper in colder weather with its over head/pullover design. The hood adds to the warmth where needed preventing heat loss through the top of your head. The raglan sleeve cut makes for a comfortable and flexible shape to the Bush Shirt and the draw cord hem helps to keep out draughts.
The Lowland tweed has great weather turning attributes and the colours woven into the pattern give you a subdued natural appearance allowing you to blend into your natural surroundings without the use of military style camouflage. This truly is a warm, flexible and comfortable wilderness jacket.

Bison Bushcraft Moleskin Trousers
The latest offering in our expanding range of clothing is our moleskin trousers. Moleskin cotton fabric has been a long standing material for outdoorsman’s trousers owing to it’s toughness and comfort.
We’ve made our trousers with this fabric but cut them in a more useful combat style. There is a map style pocket on the left thigh, a combination knife and mobile phone pocket on the right side, two rear pockets and two hand warmer pockets. All the pockets that have flap closures have NATO slotted button closure as does the waist closure. There are belts loops around the waist. The knees have a layer ballistic nylon (anti slash material) to stop undue wear and protect you from brambles etc. There is an elastic drawcord at the hem with a cord lock should you wish to tighten the trousers against your boots. As per our usual policy of supporting our economy and using natural fibres where possible, these trousers are made here in The UK from locally sourced materials.
Available in regular leg length and even waist sizes from 30” to 40” only.

Bison Bushcraft Ventile Smock
Ventile Smock
Our own adaptation of the 1963 pattern SAS smock hand made in Ventile natural cotton, wind and waterproof fabric. The smock has a full zip to the front with double baffles behind (that’s four layers of Ventile). The absence of Velcro, popstuds and petro chemical coatings enable stealth to be maintained even when accessing pockets.
The smock is excellent for winter use in conjunction with a wool shirt, jumper or fleece & lightweight enough to be used as a bush shirt in summer or the tropics. The tightness of the weave makes the smock impervious to insect bites.
Please state chest size when ordering.
Cost:£275.00

Bison Bushcraft Boots
After years of searching for the perfect lightweight boot, we've decided to make our own.
Although simple looking these boots are packed full of design features that make them the perfect footwear for stalking and mooching through the woods during summer.
They are hand made in England for us, and made foot shaped rather than modern shoe shaped. The tongues are sewn in to prevent the ingress of grit and stones. There is no man made lining, it's all leather, therefore the odour problems associated with synthetic liners should not occur.
We've chosen a very flexible flat Vibram sole unit backed with a thin layer of high density foam that allows you to feel the ground whilst being protected from it. Of course the soles are replaceable, so there's plenty of life in these boots.
They are flexible enough to pack up flat like sandals, so carrying them as spare footwear is possible.
Price: £115 a pair
Sage or Brown Woollen Socks
These socks have become our favourites. They are as close as you can get to 100% wool and still retaining wear resistance. The 90% wool part of the blend is pure British wool and the 10% nylon makes them last a long time. I would put the weight of these down as medium weight making them perfect for everyday wear with boots.
Available in two sizes medium to fit UK 7-9 and large to fit UK 9-11.
