The overshirt, your new anti-chill companion
Practicality, comfort and style
Winter is around the corner, bringing its sometimes unpredictable days along with it. Gone are the days of linen t-shirts and light bermuda shorts — the time of overshirts has come!
Worn over or under, the overshirt adapts to changing weather conditions in the blink of an eye. Depending on its material and thickness, it can replace your jacket in the transitional season or slip under a heavy coat in the depths of winter — this is what's known as layering. A true statement piece in your wardrobe, the overshirt with a classic collar subtly reveals the other pieces you have carefully selected: a shirt, a turtleneck, a lightweight round-neck sweater… Now is the time to express your personality!
As you may have gathered, the overshirt is the easy piece to throw on whatever the weather! And ours, with its 307 g per m² of mulesing-free certified wool plus lining, will keep you equipped all winter long. Water-repellent, durable, warm and wrinkle-resistant — it's no wonder boiled wool has been used for ages by Scandinavian peoples and Alpine hunters!
Boiled wool: a fabric perfectly suited to its season
The base: 100% virgin wool
To design a winter overshirt that can withstand the season's harsh weather, the choice of material seemed immediately obvious to us: a 100% wool thermoregulating fabric that keeps you warm when it's cold and breathes by wicking moisture when it's warm. Quite practical for avoiding unpleasant odors.
Wool, certainly, but not just any wool! We set our sights on our Italian partner MTT (the Manifattura Tessile Toscana). A specialist in dense wool cloths since the 1960s, boiled wool has been at the heart of their expertise for over 30 years.
The felting process
But what exactly is boiled wool? No sheep or ball of yarn was actually cooked in a pot of boiling water. It is only after being knitted that the wool cloths go through the felting or milling stage. In a felting machine, they are submerged in a hot water bath and subjected to vigorous beating so that the wool fibers open up and then contract. It is this process that traps air bubbles in the wool and produces that felted appearance. In terms of finishing, and in order to be called "boiled wool", the wool coming out of the felting machine is dyed and then pressed or decatized. And there you have it: you get a warm, pleasant and versatile wool tailored to your needs.
