Something that will survive some bush bashing but won't cost the earth. And hold some warmth while wet.

Not Wool- but I have the Swazi windriver jacket which has been great for the bush hunting I do. Very versatile, and also great in a bit of rain too (granted gets wet, but I haven't gotten wet while wearing it yet).

Great as a mid layer
Swanndri is made in China now if that's something you'd take into consideration.
Not quite the answer your looking for, but watch this YouTube guitarist out of America....and the woolen shirt he's wearing :)

Don’t think it matters, get the longer one if it feels right for you.
Those dual layers hoodies are good as well.
Use the Swandri Reidston when operating from a hut/fly in. It's a trim, athletic cut, which suits me - the traditional Swandri are just too big for me. Keeps me warm when wet throughout a July day in the bush. But, heavy - like 1kg, and will take on board a lot more water obviously. Fit for purpose.

+1 for the swazi windriver, love that thing.
I'm going to try and have a look at this: https://selke.co.nz/product/bush-shirt/ on friday, looks damn good
MKM are awesome, the extreme hoody's are bloody warm as!
Another vote for the MKM, I have singlets and the sleeves, you can also get a thermal by them. I wear mine every day I am not at work, and most evenings after work, singlets in the warmer months and sleeves in the winter. I used to wear fleece a fair bit, but since getting onto MKM, I have given most of my fleece away and only kept a bit of high vis stuff that I wear when I need to.
I get my Swannies from the big op shops like St Vincent de Paul etc. You can usually find one the right size on first attempt and they are usually under $50.
Not sure if this is still available but it looks good. It also looks spendy though so probably not quite what you're after. If it works in Sweden it will do pretty well here too.
