Right guys, so they've kindly agreed to do a 15% forum discount on everything on their website (including custom tailored stuff): https://micklagaard.com/
It'll be effective until the 3rd of May.
In order to activate the discount you'll need a code - private message me for it.
Just to make something clear - if we get an influx of orders for 'custom tailored' garments, you should expect to wait a bit longer. These guys make everything by hand, and it's only 2-3 people doing all the cutting/sewing.
They've got standard sized garments in stock for immediate dispatch. Check their online measuring chart to see if these will fit you. If not, the slightly longer wait for a custom garment is totally worth it!
Cheers,
AJ

Mission statement
Here at Micklagård, we're only concerned with one thing:
Building woolen garments that will stand the test of time.
We're aware of what's happening in the wider industry. Mass production. Off-shore manufacturing. Deteriorating quality.
Things just aren't the way they used to be.
But we're standing our ground! For your sake, and the environments'.
This is why we still do things the 'old-fashioned' way. Everything we make is carefully hand-crafted in our small workshop - right here in Hagfors, Sweden.
We've been doing like this since 1993.
Despite our hard-earned local reputation, and our strong Scandinavian heritage, you won't catch us boasting about our past.
We do not sell our clothing based on who we are, or what we have accomplished. We sell our clothing based on its ongoing merits.
Whether you're a farmer working in the remote New Zealand backcountry. A hunter in Alaska. Or a forester deep within the wilds of Sweden.
No matter who you are, or what you're doing, our high-performing woolen garments will keep you warm, dry, and protected.
With over 100 years of collective tailoring experience, our team can custom-tailor any of our garments to perfectly fit you, no matter where in the world you are.
No longer do you have to tolerate poorly fitting clothing!
Perfect build quality. Perfect performance. Perfect fit.
These are the things we stand for.

I'll have a set coming my way soon, and I'll put them through the wringer on your behalf.

What size you order?
Custom, but pretty close to a medium but a bit longer to cover the stubbies

Here are some close-up pics.
I'm thinking along the lines of a fabric flap to run the length of the zippers, to protect the zipper 'teeth' from getting buggered by scree etc. The flap can be secured via some snap fasteners. Velcro isn't hard wearing enough. Any other suggestions?
The wool-felt fabric itself is bomb-proof. So no worries there.

Is the zip down the shin?

That little button looks like it'll pop open pretty easily. The part that always broke on other brands was the buckle.
Looks like that little strap that connects the underwrite could get worn thru??
Absolutely solid fabric. But it breathes exceptionally well. Is it magic? Nope. Just wool. :)

You got pants yet?

Not finished yet. But I can't wait!
Suspect they'll be the last pants I'll ever buy.

Send me details (Heading and intro Post etc) and will start a New thread for you (email it to me - you can then add photos etc)
My M-Tac (only that too) under this would be perfect combination
Miklagaard certainly looks like some wicked kit. I switched from shitty polar fleece some years ago to merino base layers and a swanndri ranger over the top, or a gore tex coat if it was wet. Going back to wool was a game changer for me in terms of warmth and breathability, but I have to admit that the ranger is now in retirement and will be replaced with a hybrid merino/synthetic jobbie from first lite, hopefully it lives up to the hype...
If I didn’t have the first lite and a couple of other technical outer layers, I would be dead keen on something from Miklagaard, look forward to hearing more reviews!
How have you been finding thier anorak and other gear after having used it for abit looking at replacing my old swanndri thought id look at one of these before getting another swanni
I've got a pair of the shorts, and they are amazing. Expensive, but worth it.
