Overshirt Men

The story of the overshirt

The overshirt for men is practically a new item of clothing in the male wardrobe.

In fact, wearing a warm overshirt over your garment, such as a jacket, does not is not so usual for men. However, the men's overshirt is directly derived from the lumberjack shirt, this warm woolen shirt worn by the inhabitants of the great American North. Brought up to date in the 90s by Street Culture and in particular Snoop Doogy Dog, this garment has once again become a staple of urban fashion.

How to choose a men's overshirt?

To make sure you don't make a mistake when choosing your overshirt, there are a few points to consider, specifically the choice of accessories and raw materials used. We will favor 100% cotton for its comfort and the strength of its fibers, note that cotton shirts are high-end shirts, a price difference will therefore be present. Woven with a very fine warp yarn, poplin shirts are the standard of formal shirts. The majority of shirts offering a streetwear style are made of Oxford, which unlike poplin has a less precise weave, which accentuates the squared effect of the weave.
