Overshirt Utility

This durable overshirt Revolution is made from heavy 8-wale organic cotton corduroy, featuring a soft and velvety surface. The shirt is adorned with characteristic square utility chest pockets, a front button placket finished with tone-on-tone buttons, and adjustable cuffs. The loop at the neck is designed for easy hanging of this shirt, and for added comfort, it is constructed with a traditional double-layered back with a box pleat, offering better freedom of movement. Wear it as a warm shirt daily during the cold season, or layer it over a printed t-shirt or sweatshirt for a casual look. Over the decades, corduroy has been highly valued for its durability as well as its trendy appearance. Corduroy traces back to ancient Egyptians and was considered a fabric for the upper class. In the 18th century, corduroy evolved into lower social classes, as British textile manufacturers developed the distinctive wales that would transform it into the corduroy we know today. The fabric quickly became popular among teachers and academics, and as corduroy was considered a very sturdy fabric, it became fashionable as workwear following the industrial revolution. By the 1970s, corduroy gained a status of fashion, as an anti-establishment emblem of a cool working-class fabric, and this status remains relevant today.
