FAQs

What is an overshirt?

An overshirt is a versatile garment designed to be worn over another top, such as a t-shirt or a light shirt. It's heavier than a shirt but lighter than a jacket, making it perfect for layering and transitional weather.

How do I use the two-way zip?

The two-way zip allows you to open the garment from both the top (like a regular zipper) and the bottom. This offers more styling options, ventilation control, and access to clothing underneath without fully unzipping the entire overshirt.

What are the care instructions for this overshirt?

This overshirt is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. It's recommended to air dry or use a low heat setting if tumble drying, and iron on a low temperature if needed. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents.

What does 'recycled polyester' and 'recycled polyamide' mean?

These materials are made from recycled plastics, such as plastic bottles or industrial waste. Using recycled fibers helps reduce waste and conserves resources compared to producing virgin materials.

Is this overshirt suitable for winter or very cold weather?

While it provides an extra layer of warmth, this overshirt is generally best suited for transitional seasons like spring and autumn, or as a light layering piece in milder winter conditions. For very cold weather, a heavier jacket or coat would be more appropriate.

Can I wear this overshirt in a formal setting?

This overshirt leans towards a smart-casual aesthetic. While it can be dressed up with appropriate trousers and shoes for less formal social events, it is not typically suitable for formal business or black-tie occasions.

Is the Fred Perry Laurel Wreath durable?

The Laurel Wreath is embroidered, which is generally very durable. To maintain its appearance, avoid direct ironing over the embroidery and turn the garment inside out when washing.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels stiff or crinkled after washing.

Ensure you are washing at 40 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle. Air dry or tumble dry on very low heat. A light steam or low-temperature iron can help relax the fabric.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If not, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or rub a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Always operate the two-way zip carefully.

Embroidered Laurel Wreath appears dull or damaged.

Avoid direct ironing on the embroidery. If washing, turn the garment inside out to protect the emblem. Harsh detergents or excessive friction can cause wear.

Overshirt doesn't fit as expected.

Refer to Fred Perry's official sizing guides. If unsure, consider trying a different size. Note that overshirts are designed for a slightly looser, layering fit.

Fabric color seems to fade over time.

Wash the garment with similar colors and use a color-safe detergent. Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight during drying, as UV rays can cause fading.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and longevity of your overshirt. Follow these guidelines:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. Use a gentle cycle to protect the fabric.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the recycled polyester and polyamide fibers.
  • Drying: It is generally recommended to air dry to prevent shrinkage or damage to the fabric. If using a dryer, select a low heat setting.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low temperature setting. Avoid direct contact with the embroidered Laurel Wreath.
  • Storage: Store on a hanger to maintain its shape and prevent wrinkles.
