The Benzak BWS-04 Scout Overshirt in Slate Selvedge Duck Canvas is a well-considered and crafted 100% Cotton piece designed with a vintage military aesthetic in a modern cut for styling versatility and year-round utility as an overshirt or casual button down. This piece is produced in a Slate 9 oz. Japanese Duck Canvas cloth on a selvedge shuttle loom by the famous Collect Mills that has been left in an unwashed state to patina and soften through hard use and duty. This classic box-weave cloth was signature to military and workwear garments from WWII onwards due to the fabric's durability. It comes in a saturated warm charcoal with a well-proportioned fit and length designed to be worn untucked for a contemporary take on an original look and feel. This Benzak has numerous and carefully considered design details like the dual buttoned patch chest pockets with shovel-shaped flaps, a square back yoke with a dual pleated back for mobility and layering, tonal overdyed corozo reproduction buttons, and a tonally embroidered signature longhorn bull logo that will appeal to any new-classic enthusiast. This fully European-made Benzak has all the construction details for which the brand is known, including heavy gauge single and double needle chainstitching throughout with flat felled seams and bartack reinforcements to reflect the craftsmanship central to the brand's identity. The BWS-04 certainly will become a favored staple with a contemporary fit informed by the heritage classics with old-world construction while being built for longevity — perfect for the man who balances his leisure and labor.
