Fit
The BWS-03 MILITARY OVERSHIRT is a versatile shirt silhouette that can both function as shirt and jacket, depending on the season. This makes this overshirt perfect for layering. The design is simple yet utilitarian and takes inspiration from a 60s military shirt style. It features two large chest pockets with rectangular flaps and two handwarmer pockets. The cuff slits are finished with a continuous strip for durability, and the bottom is cut straight.
Fabric
The 11.5 oz. stay-blue hemp selvedge is not made for high contrast fading; in fact, due to its properties it fades slowly and stay dark blue, hence the name. This is especially interesting for garments that you want to keep dark and uniform for certain occasions, or just for a preferred look. The construction of this denim is very similar to our 11 oz. military selvedge denim from two summer seasons ago, but with the cotton weft replaced by hemp. Hemp is known for its strength and breathability, and due to its cultivating methods, a lot more sustainable compared to cotton. The inside surface of hemp fabrics can be slightly rougher, but because we have pre-washed the garments in the factory, this has already been eliminated, resulting in an out-of-the-box comfortable feeling.
