Description

The Freenote Cloth x Division Road Benson Wool Shirt is made in a special edition, medium weight 14 oz. Undyed Charcoal Mini Houndstooth Check Twill 'Sonsie' Tweed produced by Scotland's renowned Lovat® Mill using 100% True Shetland Wool in a fabric from, and made for, the outdoors. Using the Benson Shirt pattern, this Division Road exclusive is adapted and perfectly proportioned for shirt-to-overshirt convertibility, hallmarking field, and military shirts with a new-vintage flavor. With a focus on true sustainability and traceability through vertical production, this Sonsie Tweed is made from ethically sourced mulesing-free fleece from wild-raised Shetland Sheep on the northern Scottish Islands local to Lovat® Mill, the “Home of Tweed,” established in 1826. This unique khaki, grey, and espresso check on a charcoal field uses hand-sorted shades of completely undyed shear colors, spun into yarns and woven to recreate an archived pattern that boasts palette and style versatility from fall through spring in a flexible and hearty tweed twill. Staying true to heritage production details and evolved design elements, this shirt features a point collar, a subtly curved back yoke panel with shoulder pleats, buttoned patch chest pockets, and pleated button cuffs. It is completed with Italian horn buttons, felled seams, single and double-needle construction, and bartack reinforcements throughout. The Freenote Cloth x DR Sonsie Tweed Benson Shirt is a modern take on Western workwear made in the United States with an old-world quality — sure to become a future heirloom for the vintage-inspired enthusiast seeking something new.
