The Surplus Shirt in Field Olive Reverse Sateen

While The Surplus Shirt takes its inspiration from the combat fatigues of the 1970s, we’ve applied some major updates in fabric, fit, and finish. A slightly heftier construction ensures durability and rich character with age, while the reverse sateen fabrication offers a smooth interior and a texturally nuanced hand feel. The result is a versatile, wearable shirt that tips its hat to history rather than being stuck in it.

The Surplus Shirt is crafted from a tightly woven organic cotton sateen that’s been flipped and stone-washed to bring out the natural character of the fabric. Sateen was introduced to US troops as a lighter-weight option to keep soldiers cool during jungle warfare, and while most of us won’t be enduring five-mile marches through in tropics, the principles that earned this fabric its rugged reputation prove just as useful on an impromptu camping trip or a night out in the city.
