This is an overdyed version of our popular Moleskin Overshirt. Vintage looking, slightly distressed finish.
Please size up from your usual.
We were left with a surplus roll of sand colour moleskin. Some mega brands would probably send this kind of thing to be shredded and dumped in landfill. It happens, but not here. We put the cloth to use by getting it made into another batch of overshirts which we then overdyed to make two new colours. This is the Cinnamon version.
It’s a limited product run as no two runs that come out of the dye process will be the same.
We’ve been wanting to try this technique before as the results change not just the colour but also the finish of the cloth. In this case we have a vintage looking, slightly distressed finish. It’s like a gem that you might find in a vintage shop pile of old military surplus. This is the kind of shirt that would have been the favourite bit of cosy kit owned by a lone sentry out in the night guarding a checkpoint somewhere on the Iron Curtain. Worn, washed and loved, already packed full of character.
This is our second Reworked project, following the success of our first batch of overdyed overshirts in sage green. Expect more HebTroCo Reworked lines as we explore use of surplus materials and garment making techniques.
Choose ONE SIZE UP from your usual HebTroCO shirt size – e.g. if you’re usually Medium, choose Large. Don’t worry you can wash as per our instructions and they won’t shrink again.
