Desmond | Men's Relaxed Fit Button-Front Overshirt

The Desmond is a men's corduroy overshirt made for cooler mornings and changeable afternoons.

It sits neatly between a shirt and a jacket, so it earns its place on the days when a full coat is too much and a shirt on its own is not enough. The ribbed corduroy surface has a soft, settled look, and the relaxed straight cut leaves plenty of room to move.

Why You'll Love It

• Ribbed corduroy texture: adds a little depth to plain trousers and a simple tee, without looking busy or fussy.
• Easy button front: fasten it up in the morning and open it out by lunchtime. There are no zips or awkward fastenings to manage.
• Relaxed straight cut: gives you space to layer underneath and stays comfortable through a long day of walking, driving or visiting.

Perfect For

Crisp autumn walks, coffee with friends, a stroll through the garden centre or an afternoon in town. Wear it open over a plain t-shirt with chinos or jeans, or button it up over a fine knit when the temperature drops. When the weather turns colder, it also goes underneath a thicker coat as an extra layer.

The chest pockets keep small essentials close to hand, such as glasses, keys or a folded handkerchief, so you are not patting down your trousers every few minutes.

Corduroy has a natural warmth, so dark denim, stone chinos and plain white or grey tees all sit well underneath it. Black with grey trousers gives a quiet, tidy look, while the green with tan chinos feels a little more outdoorsy. Whichever colour you choose, it is a piece you can reach for without thinking, which is exactly what a good layer should be.

Questions You Might Have

Can I wear the Desmond open as well as buttoned?

Yes. The button front means you can close it fully on a cool morning or leave it open like a light jacket over a tee.

What does it layer over?

It works well over a t-shirt or a thin long-sleeve top, and it can sit under a heavier coat once the weather gets colder.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, there are practical chest pockets for the small things you like to keep within reach.
