WHAT DOES SWANDRI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Swanndri

Swanndri is a trade name for a range of popular New Zealand outdoor clothing. The item was widely worn by farmers, but in recent years its popularity has spread and it has become something of a fashion item. The Swanndri company also now produces a range of more urban-focussed garments. The classic "swanny" or bush shirt is a heavy woollen garment with a lace up section at the neck. Although a wide range of colours and patterns are available, the traditional swanny pattern is a dark tartan which could be described as a 'reverse gingham', with thick criss-crossing stripes of either blue or red over a black base.
