Description

The Iron Heart IHSH-423-IVO Work Overshirt is a heavyweight, reinforced piece produced from a 13 oz. sanforized and washed Japanese Oxford Cloth that's an appropriate style staple for year-round use. Using a new Work Overshirt pattern, this piece is perfectly proportioned in length to be worn as a casual shirting or layering piece for modern, vintage-styled grit. A limited seasonal release and cult collectible from Iron Heart, this cotton oxford broadcloth is a plain box-weave using thick 2 x 2 yarns to replicate duck canvas cloths with more refinement, flexibility, and texture in a three-dimensional weave. This fabric features a structured drape that adapts to the body, while the ivory reactive-dyed yarns retain their color, even when worn as hard as intended. This Work Overshirt has numerous carefully considered construction and design details, such as the squared shoulder and back yoke panel with a square hem and split side seam for drape and mobility, complemented by brown concave military-grade melamine buttons on the front placket and dual patch front chest pockets, placket, and pleated cuffs to make a piece for the stylistically sound and self-reliant. Further, heavyweight bartacks, internal felled seams, and chainstitched construction throughout give this piece all the necessary heritage provenance and then some. The Ivory Oxford Work Overshirt strikes a balance between classic and modern applications, making it a future heirloom, a year-round go-to, and a new project piece that will only improve with wear. Built for the biker and over-engineered from the start, the Iron Heart 423-IVO tests the limits of what can be artfully woven and sewn, delivering a lifetime of durability in a workshop-to-street-ready design.
