Draftsman Twill Slub Overshirt

Perfect for summer nights when temps drop into the high 50s here in the PNW. Just throw it over your T-Shirt. I imagine I will be wearing this well into November with a flannel or long sleeve underneath. It’s built really well, should hold up to abuse and last many years.

I should’ve known better but I’ve been wanting one of these for some time. I have a medium Chappmann that’s pretty tight all around, a large Henley that fits proportionally although I only wear it as an over shirt due to its oversize. And a medium Raleigh that fits the best of all except it is too wide. With this track record, I should’ve avoided Devium but I foolishly hoped this one would be right. I’m 6’1”, 165 pounds for reference. The arms are tight, the shoulders are tight, but the width of the shirt is for someone 10-20 pounds heavier than me. Secondly, I spent 15 minutes or so trimming threads around the button holes so I could unbutton it without ripping anything. I should’ve sent it back but I decided to wash it and see if there was any improvement. There wasn’t. Devium would serve the customer well to spend less on photo shoots and hire a sizing consultant. I’m finished with em.

Overall this is a great shirt. Love the color and l love the material and the weight of the fabric. Now for something critical. For the size of the shirt the cut is little snug in both the sleeves and the body. The sizing of the collar is too loose for the size of the shirt. For the price of the shirt the sleeves could be more finished and provide a buttoned placket.
