The Cavalry Overshirt

Description

A quiet layer for modern urban life and its in-between moments - early mornings, long commutes, air-conditioned interiors, evening walks, and transitional weather. The Tahoe Overshirt draws from utilitarian workwear, offering the ease of a shirt with the reassurance of light outerwear.

We chose deep mercerized cotton cavalry twill because it understands time. The weave brings strength and structure; mercerization refines the cotton, allowing colour to sink deeper and light to move softly across the surface. Garment dyeing introduces nuance and irregularity, while a pigment top adds depth that will shift and fade with wear. This is not fabric designed to look new forever. It’s designed to look right longer.

Durable and comfortable, the Tahoe Overshirt is designed to be worn hard and often, layered over a tee or flannel as conditions shift. Its structured cavalry twill pairs naturally with denim, chinos, and five-pocket trousers. For cooler days, layer it under a field jacket or coat - the fabric holds its shape without bulk. Keep the rest of the outfit understated and let the fabric do the talking.

Proudly made in India.

How are you different from other custom/bespoke/tailoring setups?

Most of the clothes you wear day to day, such as jeans, khakis, jackets, denim shirts, etc., are not available custom-made for you. The industrial processes of construction and washing garments are unavailable to the local tailors.

Even brands that claim to be bespoke or custom will leave you wanting that “ready-to-wear” finish. Specialized stitches such as bar-tacking, chain-stitching, double-needle, and French seam are required to make sturdy, enduring garments only seen in industrial setups. A puckering on the stitches, softness of a brushed garment all needs industrial washers and machines.

Ready-to-wear garments, on the other hand, make you compromise on fit.

We offer personalized fit within the constraints of the business model. We allow you to customize your order as long as it does not compromise the style and make each garment specifically for you. You get the best of both worlds - an industrial finish of ready-to-wear with the personalized fit of made-to-measure. We will pull out all the stops to get the fit right on your first purchase of each type of garment. Once you are satisfied, next time will be breezy, as we store your custom measurements for future purchases.
