Rendorne - Brushed Cotton Overshirt with Chest Pockets
Rendorne - Brushed Cotton Overshirt with Chest Pockets
A brushed cotton overshirt cut heavier than a shirt, with two chest pockets and a square hem.
An overshirt occupies a space that neither a shirt nor a jacket covers well: warm enough for a bright October afternoon, light enough to keep on once you are inside.
Why this overshirt?
- Heavier cloth: the cotton is woven at a jacket weight and brushed on the face, which gives it enough body to hold its own shape.
- Two chest pockets: both pockets are flapped and buttoned, set high enough to stay usable when the overshirt is worn open.
- Square hem: the hem is cut straight across rather than curved, so it sits properly when left untucked.
- Shirt collar: a standard collar keeps the piece readable as a shirt when worn on its own.
- Room to layer: the body is cut wide enough to go over a T-shirt or a fine knit without pulling at the shoulder.
Ideal for:
Men who spend the middle of the year moving between a cold morning and a warm afternoon and want one layer that handles both. It suits site visits, market days and anything that starts before the sun is properly up.
Is it a shirt or a jacket?
Somewhere between. It buttons like a shirt but is cut and weighted to go over one.
Can it be worn tucked in?
It is designed to be worn out. The square hem and the length are cut for that.
How does it fit across the shoulders?
Slightly wider than a standard shirt, to leave room for a layer underneath.
