Six hundred grams of double faced wool, bonded rather than lined so it keeps the weight without the bulk.
Six hundred grams of double faced wool, bonded rather than lined so it keeps the weight without the bulk. Boxy through the body with patch pockets and a collar that sits down on its own. Ninety made and we will not run it again this year — and it comes with thirty day returns on our own label, free alterations in store or by post, and a repair whenever it needs one, for as long as you own it.
The overshirt started as a request from a customer who wanted a jacket she could wear indoors. We took the shoulder block from our chore coat, dropped the armhole by two centimetres and cut it in a double faced wool so there is no lining to twist.
Because the cloth is bonded, both faces are finished. You can turn the cuff back and the inside looks like the outside. The pockets are patched on rather than set in, which is slower to make and far easier to repair when a corner eventually goes.

Been through two winters and a house move and it still hangs like the day it arrived. Sent it back for a button and it came home pressed.
