Long-sleeve shirt for briars / brush

[neverbilly]

I cannot find anything on a web search! Looking for a decent long-sleeve shirt when collecting firewood out in the sticks. Brush and briars around here. I can find lots of pants for hunting and whatnot that are meant for brush/briars, but what kind of shirt? Can anyone recommend? If it's cold, I can wear my Carhartt duck fabric jacket, it's tough. But it's too hot unless it's pretty cold temp.

My Dad always bought Ripstop shirts from LLBean. It has little nylon squares woven into the fabric. If you catch it on something it doesnt rip as much.
This is in lightweight cotton khakis.
If you are a brook trout fisherman and go bushwacking.
Its called Rip Stop

Search for "hickory shirts" baileys sells them and I think Ben Davis is one of the better brands. Try it out, I have never found a tougher work shirt.

You need something, I've had the briars go right through leather work gloves. I call them cat claws.

I use Deer skin welders gauntlets with kevlar stitching when working with thorny material and very rarely get anything puncture them, but the leather is supple enough to be able to do delicate work too.

When not actually handling the thorns but just to stop things stinging or pricking my arms, I use Leather Welding Sleeves - they are a tube of leather with elasticated ends which pull over shirt sleeves, or even bare arms.
