Stumbled across this web site looking for something else. Pricing is about half of what a similarly produced wool anorak would cost in the US and shipping is also quite reasonable. Catalog description from:
https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/j...hirt/35226
"A proper bushcrafty Blanket Shirt, a primite "low-tech" design where the superior natural qualities of wool combined with simple yet clever details make for a very functional outdoors jacket. These are sewn by us using good quality military surplus wool blankets! Updated pattern! Fits better on the shoulders.
Large chest pocket, positioned a bit higher up on the chest as not to interfere with backpack hip belts or equipment belts worn over the shirt. Great for storage or warming your cold fingers. Inside the pocket is a smaller pocket, sewn onto the body side of the shirt. This little flat pocket is intended to safely store any important valuables such as mobile phones. A hood, offers protection from wind and rain and keeps your head warm.
Access slits on the sides to make rummaging through your trouser pockets or accessing equipment on your trouser belt easier. The hem is way longer on the back, this will keep the crack of your arse covered in any squatting position and it also offers simple protection from wet or cold surfaces when sitting.
Raglan sleeves, these are a really neat thing! No seams anywhere on top of the shoulders means no chafing when carrying backpacks, as a bonus the raglans actually make the jacket look a bit better fitted (as if that would matter with clothing like this...)".

I ordered the Jama shirt in "Finnish wool, this is the stuff used in Finnish army M/65 series of field clothing. It's strong qualities are a large wool content and the fact that it really is meant for clothes, so it's more durable compared to cut-up blankets. Army surplus!"
Will report when it arrives.
