Revolution Utility

This robust overshirt, Revolution, is made from heavy 8-wale organic cotton corduroy and features a soft, velvety surface. The shirt includes distinctive square utility chest pockets, a button placket with tonal buttons, and adjustable cuffs. The loop at the collar allows for convenient hanging of the shirt, and for added comfort, it is equipped with a traditional double-layered back with a box pleat that provides more freedom of movement. Wear it as a warm shirt in everyday life during the cold season, or layer it over a printed T-shirt or sweater for a casual look. Over the decades, corduroy has been valued for its durability and trendy appearance. The fabric dates back to ancient Egypt and was considered a material for the upper class. In the 18th century, corduroy evolved into materials for lower social classes, while British textile manufacturers developed the distinctive ribs that transformed it into the corduroy we know today. The fabric quickly gained appreciation among teachers and academics, and as corduroy was regarded as a very durable material, it became popular as workwear after the Industrial Revolution. In the 1970s, corduroy achieved fashion status as an anti-establishment symbol of a cool working-class fabric, and this status remains relevant today.
