The Khadi Overshirt
The Khadi Overshirt is a cozy, colorful and casual staple, made up in the softest, mid-weight handwoven khadi cotton in custom yarn-dyed colorways and finished with all natural corozo buttons.
The yarns used in creating this textile are hand-spun and handwoven by master artisans, and the final fabrics vary in complexity, from two-color check fabrics with two weft shuttles, to 14-color plaid fabrics with 24 weft shuttles, and more. The handwoven quality of these textiles may reveal slight variations within the weave of the fabric, adding to the truly handmade character of each garment.

These Overshirts are garment washed and dried, giving the resulting garment a lovely nubby, soft and thick texture. Ready for layering with a boxy fit, curved hem, and 7/8 sleeves, the Overshirt is a year-round closet workhorse.
Note: We have made two minor updates to the Khadi Overshirt as of Fall 2024, including a 1" longer overall sleeve length, and a slight change to the shape of the interior facing. The overall fit and cut of this garment remains the same.
Materials + Care: 100% Khadi cotton, hand-spun and handwoven in small batches in West Bengal. Hand wash or machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Tumble dry extra low heat, steam iron if needed. These pieces have been garment washed and dried prior to shipping.
