Men overshirt

The characterful fabric of this unlined overshirt is made from pure, skin-friendly cotton. It gets its textured, almost moving surface from the use of yarns of different thicknesses and colors. At the same time, it has a grainy feel due to the way it is made. The rather weighty overshirt has a comfortable cut, a Kent collar and two large patch pockets and is fastened with distinctive stone nut buttons. The seams on the inside are neatly piped.

Long ago, dockworkers in Genoa wore work clothes made of a strong cotton fabric dyed with indigo. Since Genoa belonged to France at the time, this went by the French name "Bleu de Gênes", which in English-speaking countries became "Blue Jeans". Against the backdrop of this history, the Blue de Gênes label was launched in Kolding, Denmark, in 2010. But Ole Madsen, the mastermind behind it, has long since gone beyond jeans. He manufactures authentic clothing from selected materials, whose timeless design literally endures the years. Production takes place almost exclusively in Europe, with Blue de Gênes working with small, family-run businesses that are each specialists in their field. Thus, the jeans come from northern Italy, some pants from Turkey and the shirts from Portugal.

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