Revolution Utility

This stable overshirt, Revolution, is made from a heavy, 8-wale organic cotton corduroy, featuring a soft and velvety surface. The shirt is characterized by its distinctive square utility pockets on the chest, a front placket finished with tonal buttons, and adjustable cuffs. The loop at the collar is designed for easy storage of the jacket, and for added comfort, it is constructed with a traditional double back featuring a box pleat that provides you with more freedom of movement. Wear it as a warm shirt jacket in everyday life during the cold season, or layer it over a printed shirt or sweater for a casual look. Over the decades, corduroy has been highly valued for its durability and cool appearance. The fabric originated with the ancient Egyptians and was considered a material for the upper class. In the 18th century, corduroy slipped down the social hierarchy when British textile manufacturers developed the characteristic wales that would transform it into the corduroy we know today. The fabric quickly became favored by teachers and academics, and as corduroy was regarded as a very robust material, it gained popularity as workwear for men after the industrial revolution. In the 1970s, corduroy achieved a fashion status as a symbol of the anti-establishment attitude of a cool, working fabric, and this status remains relevant today.
