Men's Herringbone Flannel Check Overshirt
How to spot the original Herringbone Overshirt
Cotton flannel with a fine herringbone zigzag woven into a brown, cream and red check, visible when you look closely at the cloth.
A classic pointed collar that keeps its shape, a full button front and a single chest pocket.
Buttoned cuffs with neat plackets, so the sleeves can be fastened snug at the wrist or rolled up on a mild day.
The overshirt
Cotton herringbone flannel
Herringbone gives the flannel a subtle zigzag texture that you notice up close.
The cotton is brushed for a soft, warm feel and breathes well indoors.
The brown, cream and red check is a timeless heritage pattern.
The herringbone pattern is woven into the cloth, not printed on, so the texture stays visible for the life of the shirt. Brushing the cotton makes it soft and warm, but it still breathes, so it is comfortable indoors as well as outside on a crisp day.
The fit
Loose, M to 2XL
A loose fit with a 118 cm chest on the M up to 130 cm on the 2XL.
The length is 70 to 76 cm and the sleeves 57 to 60 cm.
Shoulders of 48 to 51 cm sit naturally without feeling tight.
The loose cut gives you room to move and to wear a T-shirt or a thin knit underneath. The collar keeps its shape, the chest pocket is handy for small things, and the buttoned cuffs can be rolled up when you are working in the garden or the kitchen.
How to wear it
A heritage check
Brown and red go with denim, navy, olive and cream.

From Maria & Denis
A herringbone flannel check overshirt is a classic country shirt with a touch of heritage tailoring.
It is made from cotton flannel with a fine herringbone weave running through a warm brown and red check.
The cut is loose and comfortable, with a classic collar, a single chest pocket and buttoned cuffs.
It is warm enough to wear on its own on a crisp day and roomy enough to wear open over a T-shirt or a light knit.
Wear it with dark jeans and boots for a pub lunch, or with cords for a weekend in the countryside.
A good flannel shirt is a winter staple in Britain, and herringbone flannel is one of the oldest and most handsome versions. The zigzag weave gives the fabric a gentle texture and depth, and the warm brown and red check has the look of a shirt you might find in a country outfitter’s shop. It is made to be worn on cold walks, at the pub and around the fire.
Brown red check, in sizes M to 2XL.

Fabric & care
Cotton.

Hang it to dry rather than tumble drying, which keeps the colour fresh and stops shrinking.
