Description

The Burgundy Boiled Wool Twill Kenny Overshirt by Fortela is inspired by the fit and utility of vintage outdoorsman wool field shirts and details from the original WWII US Navy CPO shirt, reproduced with a refined fit and fabric. This Overshirt is crafted in a 10 oz. Natural Wool Twill milled by Manteco® using mulesing-free wool from ethically raised sheep, spun into slub yarns, woven as a directional twill, and boiled for a softened tweed texture, directional flexibility, and luxurious drape. This garment is suited for any new-classic enthusiast, offering an improved aesthetic and detailing in an authentic up-production inspired by the timeless originals known for their versatility and functionality. Derived from Alessandro Squarzi's renowned archives, it features signature elements such as a point collar, a wide front placket, buttoned flap patch chest pockets, and pleated, buttoned cuffs. Drawing inspiration from heritage workshop productions and evolving vintage styles, this cleanly designed shirt-jacket is finished with espresso genuine horn buttons, an interior cotton-twill placket trim, and single- and double-needle construction with bartack reinforcements throughout. The Burgundy Boiled Wool Kenny Overshirt will become a style-forward heritage hallmark informed by militaria and workwear with a modern fit, designed for the man who balances his current fashion with old-world provenance.
