The Wool Overshirt

Dark Navy

Expanding our range of overshirts and light jackets, we developed The Wool Overshirt fabric with the same mill that produces the recycled wool fabric for The Wool Coat. A mill with 75 years of experience in woollen outerwear fabrics, located in Prato, a region known for being at the forefront of wool recycling, our partner mill was among the first to achieve the creation of a premium felted coat quality from 100% recycled wool. Where most other qualities require blending with virgin wool or polyester fibres for durability, our Wool Overshirt is cut from pure, recycled wool. The wool is collected from the finest post-consumer sweaters and scraps selected for fiber quality and carefully color sorted. The fibres are extracted and spun back into new yarn in a process called mechanical dying - requiring zero water or chemicals. The new yarn is thereafter carefully woven and felted in facilities with nearly a century of experience, before being shipped to our Romanian tailoring factory for cutting and sewing.
