The overshirt, your new anti-chill companion

Practicality, comfort and style

Winter is just around the corner, bringing with it its sometimes unpredictable days. Gone are the days of linen t-shirts and light bermuda shorts — it's time for… overshirts!

Worn over or under, the overshirt adapts to changing weather in the blink of an eye. Depending on its material and thickness, it can replace your jacket in the transitional seasons or slip under a heavy coat in the depths of winter — this is called layering. A true wardrobe staple, the classic-collar overshirt subtly showcases the other pieces you have carefully selected: a shirt, a turtleneck, a lightweight crew-neck jumper… Now is the time to express your personality!

As you've probably guessed, the overshirt is the easy piece to throw on in any weather! And ours, with its 307 g per m² of mulesing-free certified wool plus the lining, will keep you equipped all winter long. Water-repellent, durable, warm and wrinkle-free, it's no wonder boiled wool has been used for centuries 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 away moisture when it's warm. Quite practical for avoiding unpleasant odours.

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 fabrics 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 wool was cooked in a pot of boiling water. It is only after being knitted that the wool fabric goes through the felting or fulling stage. In a felting machine, it is submerged in a bath of hot water and subjected to vigorous beating so that the wool fibres open up, then tighten together. 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 decatised. And there you have it: you get a warm, pleasant and adaptable wool to suit your needs.
