This thing is a bit of a beaut.
Great as a lightweight-ish jacket over a t-shirt, nicely warm, can deflect sustained draughts. Definitely greenish grey. Reminds me of a bit of a donkey jacket I had in 1983, but with the purely utilitarian DNA removed and a dose of subtle style substituted instead.
Looking forwards to it getting colder as this works perfectly under the gunpowder snipe.
Downside – because I have this, I resisted getting the grey moleskin iron shirt with the brass poppers…now sold out in my size…which makes me a marmalade dropping swingleberry of enormous proportions.
Anyway, clownery aside, great purchase.

Absolutely perfect in every way. I haven’t come across a better overshirt. Beautifully made both inside and out- nicely cut and sewn. The brushed moleskin is thick, soft and warm- feels fantastic on. Great for all seasons- this will be perfect even in summer for camping trips, sitting around the fire in the evening. Spot on fit across chest, shoulders, sleeve length and overall length. I’m a 38 inch chest, 6ft, slim and the medium is as good a fit as could be- a better fit for me than the iron shirt which has slightly longer sleeves. As others have mentioned, unique colour- green grey that goes with pretty much everything. Thanks so much- I try not to buy too many clothes but the odd well made garment that will last years- this certainly feels like it falls into that category.

Hardcore! So thick and weighty it almost stands up on it’s own. Really windproof. Wore it over a jumper on a snowy December Helsinki birthday night out – minus 13 with the wind chill and was toasty. As mentioned by others it looks different colours in different lights. Which is nice.
I disagree about the sizing though – I had to return my medium for a large even though the size chart said I was medium. Just too tight across the back for me.

This is a lovely overshirt, soft to the touch and beautifully made. I usually wear a 38R jacket and the medium fits me perfectly. It’s easy to wear, lightweight but warm, and looks great with jeans or trousers. To me it appears more like a dark green than grey but either way it looks fabulous. As with the jeans, the quality of the finish is exceptional.

My wife stumped up for this on my birthday after I fannied around and missed the boat first time round – so had to wait for the re-stock.
I’m 5,11 and a medium and this fits perfectly (m). I’ve been out and about in it while others are reaching for their down-filled uniwear and it’s been lovely and warm.
It looks the bxxxxxxx (business) worn smart or casual if that makes sense, but the best part is the colour.
The Morecambe Grey seems to change with the light to match whatever you’re wearing underneath. With a white T it’s grey and then with a blue T it’s a cross between grey and green. Who knows what colour it actually is?
Attention to detail is on the button… literally. They’re proper old skool, while the collar is the perfect size and will always be a classic.
I haven’t been caught in rain yet so it’ll probably need a waterproof over the top, but IT IS thorn-proof – which my city-dwelling mates seem to love as a selling point.
Overall a cracking piece of kit I reckon I’ll have for years to come.

I am a 6ft man of a weight you get to by enjoying yourself a little to much in life so went for a 2xl I am not saying I and some sort of whale but I can see it on the horizon.
To the garment
The V2 Mole skin over shirt
It is without doubt my greates clothing purchase EVER I don’t want to wear the thing out just in case but will have every belief it would take a night in a dirty rock bar in its stride 7 days a week and come out looking far better than you would .
I am hooked will be buying more from this fine company next pay day .

A really outstanding over-shirt. The small fits me perfectly (5’10”, 155 lbs/176 cm, 70 kg; light-framed old dude). Just has a beautiful feel and you know it’ll be rock-solid for a long time–in common with other products from these guys. The colour is a pale grey (with just a hint of steely blue to my eye) and will look good paired up with jeans, khaki chinos and more. Getting “out of season” now: it is June, so I have to hope! Though maybe a light summer jacket for when the sun goes low? (or doesn’t bother that day at all!) When the season comes, this shirt will be a fixture for me.
