Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This overshirt features a roomy, boxy fit designed to be worn true to size, offering a balanced cut that allows for easy layering over a tee or hoodie.
• The ripstop fabric provides a structured, slightly architectural drape that sits comfortably on the body while effectively holding its shape.
  
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size for the intended streetwear profile, as the boxy construction naturally accommodates broader frames.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash at 30°C to preserve the integrity of the organic cotton fibres and the technical ripstop weave.
• Use a non-biological detergent to protect the deep Ivy Green pigment and prevent chemical damage to the recycled polyester yarns.
• Wash the overshirt with similar colours to avoid any potential pigment transfer and ensure the corozo buttons remain in peak condition.
• Tumble dry on a low heat setting; however, hanging to dry naturally will help maintain the crisp texture and the original fit of the garment.
• Iron at a medium temperature on the reverse side only to redefine the collar and pockets without compromising the fabric surface.

Our Uskees Ripstop Overshirt FAQs

1. What is the benefit of ripstop fabric on an overshirt?
   It uses a cross-hatch reinforcement technique that makes the material incredibly resistant to ripping and tearing, ensuring the garment survives rugged daily use.

2. Can this be worn as a jacket?
   Yes, the structured weight and boxy fit make it an ideal "shacket," providing more wind resistance and durability than a standard shirt.

3. Are the body pockets large enough for a phone?
   Yes, the pockets are designed with utility in mind, providing ample depth for modern smartphones or standard-sized wallets.

4. Will the Ivy Green colour fade?
   Because it is a cotton-rich blend, it will develop a beautiful, personal character over time, but following the 30°C wash instructions will keep the base colour rich for longer.
