Sale The Anthology Taskmaster Overshirt – Greyscale

100% Lambswool

Designed for the well-adapting individuals who excel at both work and leisure, this is a casual piece that embodies more hardwearing properties, a practical semi-outerwear that can easily be worn solo or styled over a knit or tee on chillier days.

Crafted with heavier fabrics, this is a direct reference to a general work shirt — less sinuous than our usual garment, the overshirt is cut in a slightly more semi-fitted silhouette to allow both tucking in and out, topped with slightly oversized utility chest pockets, with absolutely no fuss and feathers, but only having functionality in mind.

Taking squared objects as the framework for this garment, we combined the silhouette with the pattern of the cloth, hence the use of plaid. A normal colourful plaid gives out a country feel to the garment. But when executed in greyscale format, it leaves room for interpretation. To style this, you may either go head-to-toe monochrome for a tonal look, featuring clean lines to help define a sleek figure. Otherwise, adding a pop of colour to the rest of the outfit conjures up Big Apple nostalgia, which goes down the casual-wear route with just a hint of its sartorial roots via the sophisticated crafting technique the house offers.

Lambswool borrows the look of classic tweeds, which is perfect for a workwear-inspired piece while retaining moderately fine textures that is good to the skin. The natural stretch property of lambswool also enables this piece to be involved in more actions, perfect for jacketless weekends and casual day-offs.

Pair this with:

Knitted T-shirt in Ecru, Fossil or Espresso, Pleated trousers in Forest Green and Civilman trousers in Denim White or Taupe.
