UTTERLY NATURAL, UNDYED WOOLEN OVERSHIRT 1

The story of this herringbone tweed fabric couldn’t be simpler. The wool was sheared off brown and light brown sheep, woven into fabric and washed with soap. It’s completely natural and undyed. No colors or chemicals were used in the milling of this tweed. This overshirt will be made to your measurements.
This shirt is designed to be about two sizes bigger. It is reminiscent of a shirt you’d pilfer off the coat pegs as you dashed out to a bonfire on a cool evening. It has two front pockets and corozo nut buttons and the trim is cotton.

• CONSTRUCTION

  This overshirt was crafted entirely by hand, essentially as it was a hundred years ago, using nothing more than a sewing machine, some thread and a needle. If taken care of, this jacket will last you a long time.

  – The overshirt is lined with cotton trim on the collar inside, on the cuffs and the button placket.
  – The collars and cuffs are softly constructed by hand and are unfused.
