Overshirt w. Zipper / 3970 - Navy

The Revolution zipped overshirt crafted from a heavy 8-wales cotton corduroy fabric, with a soft and velvety surface. The shirt is detailed with a metal-zipped placket, hand-warming welt side-pockets, adjustable sleeve cuffs and a neck-loop for easy hanging. The sharp-cornered chest-pockets gives character to the shirt, that is perfect for layering over a tee or a sweat during the cold season. Through decades corduroy has been highly appreciated for the durability as well as the cool appearance. Corduroy originates from the ancient Egyptians and was considered a cloth for the high-society. During the 18th century corduroy moved down the social scale, as British textile manufacturers developed the distinctive ridges that would transform it into the corduroy we know today. The fabric was soon favored by schoolteachers and academics, and because corduroy was considered a very strong fabric, it became popular as a material for the working men's clothing after the Industrial revolution. During the 1970s corduroy developed a fashion status, as an anti-establishment badge of a cool working-class fabric, and this status is still current today
