Barena Overshirt Dogan Verde

Leave it to the Italians to make early-twentieth century militaria look cool (the Japanese and the Swedes can cover the latter half). And Venetian purveyors of cool, Barena Venezia, invite you to go green in their Overshirt Dogana Verde (kisses fingertips).

This shirt-jacket is pretty simple stuff: five button placket, washed green cotton twill, symmetric chest and hip pockets. But it’s that non-chalance and those clean, we-got-rid-of-the-extra-seams-because-you’re-probably-not-going-to-war lines that really makes this thing sing.

But they’ll happily let you pretend for $579 CAD (~$432 USD) at Understudy.
