Original Sonsie Tweed Wool Overshirt - Undyed Shepherd's Check

Description

The De Bonne Facture Undyed Shepherd's Check Original Sonsie Tweed Overshirt is part of a soft tailoring collection inspired by the landscapes of Brittany and the Côte de Granit Rose — blending the idea of hardened granite with the elegance of the pink-tinged rocks — echoing DBF's timeless approach to combining the rustic and the luxurious. With a focus on sustainability and connecting the garment to the landscape, this Overshirt is made from ethically sourced mulesing-free 100% Scottish Shetland Wool milled to a substantial and flexible 14 oz. Sonsie Tweed by Scotland's Lovat® Mill, established in 1826. This exclusively developed Shepherd's Check uses various shades of completely undyed shear colors spun into yarns and woven to recreate an archived tartan pattern that boasts palette and style versatility from fall through spring. With a minimalist design approach inspired by vintage fashion, each element carries thematic consistency and purpose with details like set-in sleeves and a classic silhouette that allows for movement and layering, full lining in a cotton/viscose blend for the body and sleeves to provide a luxurious and finished feel, buttoned flap front patch chest pockets and side seam lower hand pockets for carrying and convenience, and high character genuine horn buttons utilized on the front placket and cuffs for rich refinement. Paying homage to the classic military issue CPO shirt from the early 1930's onward, this piece is atelier made in Bagnolet, France by outerwear specialist M. Erbas, which provides the soul of fine regional craftsmanship and when combined with the authenticity of fully traceable natural materials, the yield is an artisan piece for the timeless wardrobe of the contemporary fashion connoisseur. Featuring premium materials and production with an historic approach to a forward-focused look, the Undyed Shepard's Check Sonsie Tweed Overshirt will add polished execution to any casual luxury ensemble for the office, event, or excursion.

Sizing

De Bonne Facture Outerwear generally runs large and is based on European tailoring sizing. We suggest using your measured chest/suiting size and adding (8) for a more classic fit and to accommodate heavy layering, or adding (6) for a more tailored fit. Alternatively, take the smaller of your range in common US Alpha sizing for a classic fit, or an additional size down for a tailored fit.

We recommend consulting our Sizing Guide and using our Virtual Size Chart.
