ETYMOLOGY

The overshirt is a combination of several different casual garments, ranging from military undershirts to civilian work jackets. It originated in early 20th century European workwear being worn by labourers, craftspeople and artists to cover up their suits and ties before the introduction of uniforms, the breast pocket was convenient to keep their tools within reach .

CRAFTSMANSHIP

The overshirt has an all-over animal print which has been created by closely studying a zebra pattern and turning it into a repeated print. The print is digital on artificial suede, that has a peachy and warm surface.

ASSEMBLY

The raglan sleeves with a dropped shoulder present a relaxed finish. It creates a different dimension of the animal print to stand out, this can also been be found with the waist and sleeve seam detail. The overshirt is unlined and instead the seams are finished with ink splatter binding.

WHATS SPECIAL/FINISHING

The patch pockets are secured with buttons and the flap is topstitched for a decorative finish. The cuffs on the sleeves are functional and the back of the overshirt has a yoke feature, in the animal print. Below the yoke to finish the rest of the back of the overshirt is a knitted jacquard feature, a signature of POAN we use in many of our over shirts and jackets.

FINISHING

Our label is stitched in by hand in a japanese quilting technique for each garment to ensure its authenticity.
