The Universal Works Bakers Overshirt in Pale Blue provides a versatile and functional layering piece that draws inspiration from traditional workwear heritage. This Universal Works classic solves the problem of choosing between a heavy jacket and a light shirt by offering a midweight solution that adapts to any season. Built with the brand’s signature honest approach to design, the overshirt features a multi-pocket arrangement originally inspired by the founder's father, who was a baker, ensuring you have ample space for daily essentials while maintaining a clean, structured appearance.

At Urban Industry we recommend

• Layering over a simple tee during spring or under a heavier coat in the winter months.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This overshirt is cut with a regular fit that allows enough room for a base layer underneath.
• The structure is designed to be comfortable through the shoulders while remaining straight through the body.
• Here at the store we recommend choosing your standard size, but if you intend to wear heavy knitwear underneath, we suggest you size up the item.
• The length is proportional, typically sitting just below the waistline for a classic chore jacket profile.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash at 30 degrees to preserve the Pale Blue dye and the integrity of the cotton twill.
• Wash with similar light colours to prevent any unwanted colour transfer.
• Avoid the use of a tumble dryer; instead, hang to air dry to maintain the garment's shape and size.
• Use a warm iron to remove any creases, ensuring the overshirt remains looking sharp for daily wear.
