Men's Cotton Overshirts

All Basics overshirts use cotton construction — the right fabric for a layering piece that needs to handle being worn open as a jacket and closed as a shirt. The Basics cotton overshirt range covers brushed cotton (softer, warmer, for cooler-season layering), mid-weight cotton twill (year-round versatility), and heavier cotton flannel (winter-weight). Relaxed Fit, in solid and checked designs, across 7 colour families. The fabric weight is what separates overshirts from shirts — heavier than a regular shirt, lighter than a jacket, just right for the layering role overshirts fill. Cotton overshirts feel soft, breathable, gets better with washing. Cotton is best for year-round wear; the safe default for Indian weather. Care: wash cold (30°C), tumble dry low or line dry, iron medium. With proper handling, holds 2-3 years of regular wear with proper care. If you're picking between fabrics, cotton is the right call when comfort and breathability matter more than wrinkle resistance — and it remains the most-bought fabric in this range for everyday Indian wear conditions. Most cotton overshirts in the Basics range are pre-shrunk and colour-fast through the first several washes; the structural integrity of the seams and finishes is engineered to outlast the colour of the fabric itself.
