What have you learnt, it is an autumn version of the PS overshirt, simply as readers requested! Learn on, nevertheless – there are a number of particulars which can be fascinating, and push it nearer to a jacket than an overshirt.

First, we needed to partially line this model, as it could make it a lot simpler to slide on and off and comfy when worn. Usually the heavier, thicker overshirts want this much less, however the materials we needed to make use of was a 11oz wool/cashmere, as a result of it was supposed as a transitional piece – autumn somewhat than winter, wearable in any workplace.

So the jacket has a lining on the highest of the again and within the sleeves. The again lining is stylish and tonal, however within the sleeves we used a Savile Row-type stripe, giving the shirt a extra conventional really feel. 

Striped linings like this are one thing I all the time love about my Savile Row fits, and it’s good to hold them throughout into these merchandise – just like the two-hole horn buttons, which the coats have in fact and this overshirt has too. 

Second, whereas the design of the linen version has been largely maintained, with its traditional collar, straight lower and deep chest pockets, we tweaked the design to try to make the wool/cashmere model extra elegant. 

The pleat on the again has been inverted, for instance, so it’s a reverse field pleat. This throws the identical quantity of fullness down the again, however the look is neater. We additionally widened the going through across the higher chest, so it appears cleaner as the highest rolls open. (A tough factor to explain, however see the primary picture under.)

And there are many different refinements, reminiscent of tonal binding on the again of the vents, a lining wrapper for the label, and neat ending on the armhole. These are all issues it’s simpler to see in individual (and we can have a dimension run in both pop-ups, so there can be items there to strive on, regardless of how briskly these promote).

The overshirt is – hopefully – a simple, versatile piece of clothes. It’s within the color I discover most versatile (gray herringbone), a midweight wool which means it may be outerwear in September or mid-layer in November, and a design that’s easy however useful. 

That performance is within the six pockets (we added yet one more on the within hip), the very fact it appears good open and breezy or buttoned up, and the collar that appears good over a T-shirt, collared shirt or sweater. 

Proper, that’s most likely sufficient of me simply arguing about it. Let us take a look at the way it’s worn. 

The 2 outfits right here illustrate the flexibility of the piece. The smarter one under with the cashmere sweater and brown trousers seems like a superb non-suit workplace possibility: clearly dressed up and severe, however with out the necessity for a swimsuit or jacket. 

I’ll all the time defend the sweetness and distinctiveness of tailoring, however I do know there are numerous readers for whom one of these outfit is extra helpful. The overshirt will be eliminated inside if desired, after which it’s only a knit with a pleasant pair of trousers. Or it may be a jacket substitute, even worn with a shirt and knitted tie. 

Temperature sensible, that sensible outfit may have a shawl and watch cap added, and naturally an overcoat excessive. 

But it surely does look good with only a T-shirt. The extra informal outfit (under) is an easy T-shirt and denims, the denims being Bryceland’s 133s and the T-shirt a PS Tapered Tee. 

The gray of the overshirt is a contact darker than some gray herringbones, however we needed that so it could possibly be worn neatly. With informal issues like denims, it means I’d put on it extra with darkish or pale denims, indigo or white or black, and rather less with closely worn blue. 

The footwear on this outfit is a pair of brown-suede boots (seen in a higher-up photograph) although an informal black may work too, as would burgundy. 

The fabric is nearly solely wool: 95% wool, 5% cashmere. The cashmere simply offers it a barely softer contact, with out affecting the efficiency. It’s additionally woven within the UK, so a bit of denser than Italian equivalents.

The buttons are a dark-brown horn, with two holes. They’re a dimension smaller than these on the linen overshirt, with the identical goal of smartness. 

The overshirt was made in London, and we labored with a designer buddy to assist implement it – Josh Walters, whose expertise contains Dunhill, Baracuta and different traditional menswear manufacturers. This clearly wasn’t a venture that wanted to be designed from scratch, nevertheless it was fascinating working with somebody like Josh. We are able to cowl that another time if persons are . 

The Autumn Overshirt is out there on the PS Shop. I actually hope you take pleasure in it. It seems like a very long time since readers first began asking about an autumn/winter model of the overshirt, nevertheless it appears to have been price spending this further time on it.
