Frequently asked questions
What is a cord overshirt?
A cord overshirt is a shirt-shaped layer cut from corduroy, usually a little heavier and roomier than a standard shirt, so you can wear it open over a T-shirt or buttoned over a fine knit. The range includes the Barbican and Knightsbridge overshirts and the snap-front Mortlake.
Overshirt, shacket or shirt: what is the difference?
A corduroy shirt such as the Pimlico, Bloomsbury, Westminster or Islington is cut to wear on its own. An overshirt is made to layer. A shacket, such as the thick Fitzrovia or the cord-collar Richmond, wears closer to a light jacket.
What does wale mean in corduroy?
Wale is the raised ridge in the fabric. Fine wale has narrow ridges and looks smoother and smarter; wider wale is chunkier and more casual. Check each product page for the cord it uses.
What should I wear with a corduroy overshirt?
A plain T-shirt or fine knit underneath, with jeans or chinos. Keep the other textures simple so the cord stands out. For a smarter option, the Bibury corduroy blazer works over an Oxford shirt.
How do I care for corduroy?
Follow the care label, turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the ridges, and avoid pressing an iron flat onto the pile.
