Barena Offers a Simple Italian-Made Overshirt

Barena’s new Overshirt Cedro has us lusting for wool shirting weather. A beautiful example of restraint in design, the Cedro is simple and functional. Everyone has a wool shirt, and we all know its comforts and many uses. So if a wool shirt is your go-to, you really need to look at this one—its presentation is sublime.

It starts with a soft, navy virgin wool, made in Italy, and the fit is regular and cropped, reminiscent of vintage and military-style wool shirting, so you won’t need to tuck this one in. We like to think of this style as a light jacket—a layering piece if need be—the truly quality kind you throw on and instantly know it’s greatness. And rest assured, this one will last a lifetime.

The Cedro features a single open pocket and a button-fastened placket that gives way to a wide-spread collar. Did we mention the shirt is cut from Italian virgin wool?

Available for £350 (~$450USD) at Peggs and Son.
