01Fabric

A woven foundation

A firm cotton twill gives the overshirt structure. Its diagonal weave is woven, dyed and finished in-house.

02Design & pattern

Structure in the pattern

Yoke, collar stand and pocket placements are drafted so the overshirt sits square on the shoulders.

03Cutting

Grain and stripe aligned

Woven panels are cut on the straight grain so the garment hangs cleanly and holds its shape.
