Mills Heritage Check Overshirt
A beautiful archived 100% wool heritage deadstock cloth, with a defined twill, yarn dyed and woven in Scotland.
The cloth has a decent weight, making this an easy piece to wear as an overshirt or lightweight jacket.
Due to the very limited availability of this cloth, we only have a small number of these pieces available.
The shirt has a squared-off hem and is designed to be worn out — not too long, not too short, with the sleeves cut to the right length.
The one piece collar sits particularly well when the top button is done up, giving the shirt a clean, considered look. The button positioning also means it works equally well with the top button undone.
It’s an easy piece to wear and works well with navy, greys, black, brown and camel, and works really well with indigo denim.
There’s an outer chest pocket and a handy inner chest pocket, both finished with profile stitching and subtly secured at the stress points.
The shirt is cut and sewn in Great Britain, in small, limited batches. The quality and make are first class.
Constructed using traditional French seams on vintage industrial machines, all inner facings are taped and bound for a quality finish inside and out.
Keyhole buttonholes are cut one by one on a 1940s industrial Reece 101, with no modern automated machinery involved, then finished with beautiful horn buttons made in England back in the 1980s.
Nothing is rushed, nothing is automated, every detail is considered.
