Revolution Utility shirt

This stable overshirt from the Garderobe Revolution is made from a heavy, 8-wale organic cotton corduroy with a soft, velvety surface. The shirt features distinctive square utility pockets on the chest, a front with tone-on-tone buttons, and adjustable cuffs. The loop at the collar is designed for easy storage, and for added comfort, it has a classic double-layered back with a box pleat that provides more freedom of movement. Wear it as a warm shirt during the cold season or layer it over a printed t-shirt or sweatshirt for a casual look. Over the decades, corduroy has been highly valued for its durability and cool appearance. The fabric has its roots in ancient Egypt and was considered a material for the upper class. In the 18th century, corduroy fell in the social hierarchy as British textile manufacturers developed the distinctive ribs that transformed it into the corduroy we know today. The fabric quickly became favored by teachers and academics, and since corduroy was regarded as a very sturdy material, it gained popularity as workwear for men after the industrial revolution. In the 1970s, corduroy achieved fashion status as a symbol of the anti-establishment, a cool fabric of the working class, and this status remains relevant today.
