{"product_id":"surchemise-en-jean-homme-le-travailleur","title":"Denim Overshirt for Men, Le Travailleur","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA denim overshirt that has already lived a life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis men's denim overshirt isn't cut from a fresh roll of cloth. It starts from existing garments: decommissioned military jackets, reworked in France. Every piece therefore begins as a different jacket, and the wear is applied by hand, one garment at a time. No two overshirts are identical. Yours won't match the photo exactly, and that is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDyed after assembly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn standard production, the fabric is dyed and then sewn. Here it goes the other way round: the garment is assembled first, then dipped in indigo. The dye takes unevenly depending on the thickness of the cloth. Seams, flaps and topstitching hold more pigment, so the piece has depth of colour from day one, something fabric dyed before cutting can't give. It also means it bleeds more in the first washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA 3×1 twill\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cloth is a 3×1 cotton twill: the warp thread passes over three weft threads before going under one. This is the structure of classic \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Denim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003edenim\u003c\/a\u003e. It keeps the indigo on the surface, leaves the reverse paler and gives a dense cloth. The mechanical wear applied afterwards gives it the look of a vintage piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eField jacket details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo flap chest pockets close with red buttons. Epaulettes on the shoulders, buttoned cuffs. The shirt construction adds no bulk at the shoulder, so it slips easily under a coat. The CDM label, which signs the French making, is sewn under the collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelaxed fit, sold in two combined sizes: S-M and M-L. Half chest runs from 54 to 57 cm (21.3 to 22.4 in), length from 72 to 73 cm (28.3 to 28.7 in) and sleeve from 61 to 62 cm (24 to 24.4 in). Take your usual size, or the larger one if you plan to wear it over a thick knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wear a men's denim overshirt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen over a T-shirt is the most direct mid-season use: it breathes, layers easily and gains character with each wear. Buttoned over a fine knit, it works as a light jacket. Under a \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/caban-marin-drap-laine\"\u003epea coat\u003c\/a\u003e in deep winter.
