Overshirt

Tops

Ideal in-between coat
The overshirt, also called a 'shirt jacket', is a cross between a shirt and a jacket. This garment has the shape of a casual shirt, but is made of a slightly thicker fabric such as wool, sturdy cotton or flannel. Warmer than a shirt, so it can also be worn as outdoor clothing. That makes the overshirt the ideal 'in-between jacket', in other words: a jacket for the in-between season. In addition, it is a great item for a smart casual look. Many overshirts have a workwear-like appearance with large flap pockets on the front. An example is the lumberjack shirt, which is in fact also an overshirt. Although there are also more dressed versions, or very minimalistic ones without pockets and with a concealed button closure.
