LEE 101 Wool Overshirt

Inspired by the past but made for the present, the Lee® 101 wool overshirt is “equal parts hardy and utilitarian, but it will also set a strong foundation for any outfit. You can wear the 101 wool overshirt over and under basically everything no matter the weather. Giving you the right amount of cozy for transitioning from season to season, this shirt jacket is developed using a hybrid blend of natural wool and performance fibers to help retain heat and regulate temperature without adding any bulk you don’t need. It features an oversized fit, two patch pockets with flaps and snaps, as well as twin waist pockets for any extra essentials. It also comes with antiqued brass snaps and authentic Lee workwear labels.”

Outerknown Woolaroo

The new natural wool fleece shirt jacket spun in Italy from Outerknown is breathable, odor-resistant, and quick-drying, with “natural softness [that]offers freedom of movement while keeping you warm. While wool does shed, it’s a natural fiber that will break down rather than contribute to the plastic pollution problem. The color in this garment is made from combining recycled pre- and post-consumer waste, which helps to spare the use of any additional water or dyestuffs.​ A relaxed shirt jacket that’s roomy enough for easy layering over all your cool-weather favorites.”

Filson Field-Jac Shirt

Made with the fabric type used for vintage military fatigues, this versatile overshirt provides an added layer of protection on cool days. Patterned after the original iconic Jac-Shirt that’s been a favorite since the 1970s, its versatility makes it a sure go-to favorite. The strong midweight fabric is a reverse-sateen weave, smooth on the inside for easy layering. Sturdy buttons secure the front, chest-pocket flaps, and adjustable cuffs.”
