UTTERLY NATURAL, UNDYED ITALIAN WOOLEN TWEED OVERSHIRT 3

The story of this twill tweed fabric couldn’t be simpler. The wool was sheared off dark and light grey 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 a wonderfully utilitarian garment if you want to add a layer to keep warm. It has two front pockets and corozo nut buttons and the trim is cotton. If you’d like this shirt more fitted, please drop us note with your order. A pattern will be cut and the shirt made for you once you order and submit your measurements.

• FABRIC

  100% Virgin wool. Washed wool effect. Roughly 330gr/m. As mentioned above, the story of this 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 fabric. The weave is in twill design.

   

• 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 has corozo buttons.
  – The overshirt has 2 front flap pockets.
  – 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.
  – Misaligned sleeve and side seams for an ease in movement.
  – The seams are flat-felled, meaning once sewn, turned over and sewn again to make them stronger.
  – The sides are strengthened by hand-sewn gussets.

   

• MILL

  This fabric was woven by Lanificio Subalpino, a small and eclectic weaving mill near Biella, Italy.
