ARCHIVE COLLECTION - Overshirt

A series of oversized work shirts made from reclaimed cotton canvas, twill, ticking, painter’s tarps, military bags, and other scavenged fabrics. The overshirt became a useful shape for us because it can hold many kinds of material without losing its function. Some pieces are clean and uniform, others carry staining, paint, fading. Built with heavy thread, tight stitching, internal pockets, and rivets only where needed, each shirt is meant to sit between a button-down and a light jacket.
