A wool flannel that packs a punch

 

 

A Feel and Colours that mean business

This Wool Overshirt isn’t just a stopgap for when the mercury plummets. It goes well beyond that, coupling warmth and practicality with rich texture and deep, nuanced colours. We’ve woven the wool in a unique weave, giving it both a distinct texture and lush feel which really comes to life in the rich, marled versions.

Each colour has been built up using tonal threads to create colours that tell a story. Ready to add your chapter next Tuesday?

So, What’s the Lineup?

In this second version, this handsome overshirt comes in four colours that suit an array of moods:

  • Navy: Crisp and sharp for understated elegance.
  • Light Grey marl: Add depth to an outfit.
  • Brown marl: A little rugged. Perfect for those who like their boots a bit dusty.
  • Green marl: A touch of nature.

Boiled Wool, Bringing the Heat

We use a dense 513g boiled virgin wool that creates a cosy that feels protective and premium.

The result? An overshirt that’s built to last, doesn’t lose shape or colour and keeps you at just the right temperature, season after season. Each overshirt weighs in at 600g, which is light on your shoulders but heavy on warmth. Your new cocoon will take you from the first chill of winter all the way to spring’s first warmth.

Finishing Touches Matter

Details matter. Really matter. That’s why we use our 15mm Corozo buttons. Also known as ‘vegetal ivory’, corozo is a natural material made from the Tagua nut. It’s got great natural patina, is tough as - er - nuts and is biodegradable. They look good, they stand the test of time. Just our cup of tea.

We’ve also included a cotton lining in high-wear spots like the collar, cuffs, and placket for extra durability and a smooth, high-end finish.

And those side seams? They bring extra structure while letting you move freely. No shortcuts here, just long-lasting quality.

The Fit You Deserve

Just like you asked, the Wool Overshirt is cut straight and slightly roomy, so you can layer up and still be able to move. It can even handle being buttoned up over a jumper. So, whether you’re nipping about town or grappling up hillsides, you’ll look good and remain comfortable.

Out With the Old, In With the Wool

Made in Portugal, from New Zealand wool spun in Italy, this Wool Overshirt is ready for preorder next Tuesday at 129€. It’ll be available for six days only so if you miss out this time, you might just find it in a future stock sale but the price will jump to 169€ to reflect inventory costs.

Sign up to be reminded when preorders open as the first to do so will land theirs by December 31st.
