​FAQ's- Answers to your questions...
CAN YOU SWIM IN BUCKMUNDI SHIRTS?
Our shirts are mainly used for every day wear above water, however yes you can swim in them just not in chlorine as it may fade the inks. Be aware that wet fabric can reduce UPF ratings so remember to always slip slop slap as well.
WHAT IS THE SUN PROTECTION RATING?
UPF 50plus
ARE BUCKMUNDI SHIRTS HOT?
No, Buckmundi shirts are not hot! While any long sleeve shirt will feel warmer than a singlet, our shirts are designed to keep you cool. Many of our customers used to avoid "fishing shirts" because they found them too hot, but once they tried a Buckmundi, they were surprised by how breathable and comfortable they are.
​
Our shirts are made from 100% moisture-wicking microfibre mesh. While they are polyester, it’s the quality and weave of the fabric that really makes the difference. This technology draws moisture away from your skin and lets air flow through, creating a cooling effect rather than trapping heat. We’ve tested them in extreme conditions—like 40+ degree heat of the Kimberley and humidity of Cape York—against other fishing and cotton work shirts. Buckmundi shirts breathe better, keeping you cooler and more comfortable.
Don’t just take our word for it—test it out for yourself!
WHY DON'T WE DISPLAY THE AUSSIE MADE LOGO?
Buckmundi is 100% owned, operated, designed and made in Australia and our manufacturer holds the logo. At this stage in our small business, it is another outlay; however is definitely something we will be considering in the future.
IS OUR FABRIC MADE IN AUSTRALIA?
We love this question as it brings the attention to why we push for Australian made and where Australian manufacturing can still grow.
Australia does not manufacture ultra light microfibre mesh, therefore it has to be sourced from overseas where they specialise in the best quality. We have contacted places all over the country, but as yet it's not possible.
Having garments made here is the first step and like many Aussie's we are hoping in time it will be made in Australia also.
ARE WE GOING TO MAKE CAPS?
We would love to have our own caps, however there is not a manufacturer in Australia that makes the actual cap, so until then we will have to hold out. There's an idea for an entrepreneur out there :).
WHY THE DEER FOR THE BUCKMUNDI LOGO?
I drew our logo in 2019 to put on the back of our caravan before we set off. Box loves the deer for its meat and I love the beauty of it’s antlers as they have a filigree effect. The stag is also a part of our family crest. Swirls on one side and straight edges on the other represent the masculine and feminine side/ or the ying and yang of co-existing together.
HOW OFTEN DO WE GET MORE STOCK?
Be sure to sign up to our mailing list at the bottom of this page. We notify our community via email and on our socials when we are doing pre-orders for designs and new releases, so you don't miss out. When available these can be ordered via our pre-orders page.
​
We order based on demand and what we currently have in stock that can fit in the van. If there is a design that you want, and it isn't currently available in stock get in contact so we can let you know when we next expect to do a manufacturing run. ​
WHAT IS BUCKMUNDI SIZING LIKE?
We use Australian sizing so there may be differences to ones purchased elsewhere. To get it right from the start we ask that you take the time and measure up against our size guide.
DO WE DO CUSTOM MADE?
No. As we pay Australian pricing and our manufacturer has minimum order requirements it is not financially viable for us or our customers at this time. Maybe in the future, you never know. :)
WHAT IS OUR RETURNS POLICY?
Please refer to our shipping & store policy's page. Please take the time to measure up before ordering.
