The overshirt, your new anti-chill companion
Practicality, comfort and style
Winter is just around the corner, with its sometimes unpredictable days. Gone are the days of linen t-shirts and lightweight shorts — the time of overshirts has arrived!
Worn over or under other layers, the overshirt adapts to changing climates in the blink of an eye. Depending on its material and thickness, it can replace your jacket during the transitional season or be slipped under a heavy coat in the depths of winter — this is known as layering. A true centerpiece of your wardrobe, the classic-collar overshirt delicately reveals the other carefully selected pieces underneath: a shirt, a turtleneck, a lightweight crew-neck sweater… This is your moment to express your personality!
As you may have gathered, the overshirt is the piece you can easily throw on in any weather! And ours, with its 307 g per m² of mulesing-free certified wool in addition to the 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 was 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. Rather practical for avoiding unpleasant odors.
Wool, certainly, but not just any wool! It is from our Italian partner MTT (the Manifattura Tessile Toscana) that we set our sights. 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 yarn was cooked in a pot of boiling water. It is only after being knitted that the wool fabrics go through the felting or fulling stage. In a felting machine, they are immersed in a hot water bath and subjected to vigorous beating so that the wool fibers open up and then tighten. It is this process that deposits air bubbles in the wool and produces that felted appearance. In terms of finishing, and 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.
