Between a shirt and a jacket

The overshirt is made from corduroy, which puts it between a shirt and a light jacket in weight. The collar is a classic shape, the button placket runs the full front, and two chest pockets sit flat against the body. Worn over a shirt it looks finished without much effort.

Design Highlights

The fine ribs in the corduroy give the fabric depth and hold it away from the body slightly, which is what makes it warmer than a plain cotton shirt without turning into a coat. The buttons run the full length of the front so it can be closed as a shirt or left open as a light layer. Two flat chest pockets sit flush against the body rather than standing out, which keeps the front calm. The collar is cut to a standard shape so it sits well over a tee as well as on its own.

How to Style It

Over a plain tee and jeans it reads easy for the weekend. Under a coat with a knit beneath it becomes the middle layer for a cold morning. Keep the shirt underneath simple so the ribbed texture stays the only detail across the front.
