Mills Compact Cotton Overshirt Khaki

Mills Compact Cotton Overshirt This piece is a bit special. The mid-weight, 100% compact cotton cloth was discovered in the archives of a North of England textile mill with a heritage stretching back to the 1800s. Each shirt is cut and sewn in our home town of Derby, using traditional French seams and bound facings. Constructed one by one by old school makers on vintage industrial machines. Keyhole buttonholes are cut one by one on our 1940s Reece 101 machine, then finished with the last of our beautiful English horn buttons made in the 1980s. The quality and make are first class. But what really sets this Overshirt apart is what happens next. We work with one of the UK's leading innovative laundries. There aren't many like them, and we think this one is the best. Working closely with their R&D team, we developed a special wash recipe unique to Reworked 348. The result is an Overshirt with a softened, peachy handle that maintains the cloth's compact feel, giving it a very slightly worn-in authentic look that would otherwise take many wears to achieve. As an added bonus, this wash process ensures the Overshirt won't shrink any further when washed at home. As is our way, we've only been able to make a small number of pieces from this cloth, so if you've been thinking about getting your hands on one, now might be the time.
