Men overshirt

This overshirt is based on a classic US Navy deck shirt, which was originally worn as an intermediate layer over normal clothing and under the deck jacket in cold weather. It has a correspondingly generous cut. In this version, Pike Brothers makes it from warming wool fabric with a tight, spike-like herringbone pattern. The overshirt also defies wind and weather when worn on its own. It has two buttoned flap pockets on the chest and buttoned cuffs. Cotton lining on the inside reinforces the collar and button placket.

The Pike Brothers label from Bad Feilnbach in Upper Bavaria proves with garments inspired by textiles from the world of workwear that form and functionality are not mutually exclusive. While creative minds in other companies have to work out their cuts, the Pike Brothers collect, dissect and finally reconstruct historical originals from a wide variety of workspaces. Different material requirements and cuts are taken into account on a one-for-one basis. Fabrics are reissued in collaboration with traditional weaving mills. Finally, the Pike Brothers have the garments made by hand from selected European tailors. The resulting products tell a story by dint of their appearance. Moreover, they are proving themselves in practice, just like their historical role models did, to be highly functional and to offer the highest comfort – no matter what the activity.

Staining of light-coloured clothing, furniture and other objects is possible.
