Product Information

Full details

The Selected Checkered Overshirt is a versatile wardrobe staple designed for men seeking a structured, layered look that bridges the gap between casual and smart-casual. Crafted from durable cotton, it serves as an excellent layering piece over tees or light knitwear; however, potential users should note that the regular fit may require sizing down if you prefer a more tailored, slim silhouette.

FAQs

Is this shirt suitable for summer?

While cotton is breathable, the overshirt style is generally best suited for layering in spring and autumn temperatures.

Does the fabric shrink?

As it is made of cotton, it is recommended to wash in cold water and avoid high-heat tumble drying to minimize potential shrinkage.

Can I wear this as a standalone shirt?

Yes, it functions perfectly as a standard button-down shirt when buttoned up, though the heavier cotton gives it more structure than a typical poplin shirt.

What does 'Regular Fit' mean?

Regular fit is a standard, comfortable cut that provides more room through the torso compared to a slim or tailored fit.

Are the chest pockets functional?

Yes, the chest pockets are designed to be functional, providing storage for small everyday items.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Lightly steam the garment or use a garment steamer to remove creases without damaging the cotton fibers.

Buttons are becoming loose

Reinforce any loose thread with a standard needle and matching thread to prevent loss of buttons.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Selected Overshirt, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle to maintain fabric integrity and color vibrancy.
  2. Drying: Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Removing it from the dryer while slightly damp can help reduce wrinkles.
  3. Ironing: Use a medium-hot iron to press the collar and cuffs for a clean, crisp finish.
  4. Storage: Hang the shirt on a sturdy hanger to preserve the structure of the shoulders.
  5. Compatibility: The shirt pairs best with standard-fit chinos, denim, or cotton trousers. Avoid layering it under heavy blazers to prevent bulkiness.
