That is the brand new color of the PS Linen Overshirt – a pale olive inexperienced. I find it irresistible, however it’s a contact uncommon so I believed it was value capturing with totally different colors, simply as an example how I feel it could possibly work significantly properly. 

The overshirt is out there on the PS Store, having simply come into inventory alongside the navy we launched with final yr. The darkish brown from that launch will likely be arriving in a few weeks. 

The overshirt was the preferred factor in 2021, so I do know there’ll plenty of demand, significantly given how good the climate is within the UK for the time being. I didn’t wish to wait one other two weeks to launch the whole lot collectively. 

Whereas we’re on the topic, three different merchandise have been restocked prior to now fortnight: the PS shorts, which have been simply behind the overshirt final yr when it comes to recognition, with the navy color now in the identical washed model because the khaki and inexperienced; the selvedge chambray shirts from 100 Fingers, and corresponding cloth; and the shirt that began all of it, the Friday Polo, in white, navy, black and inexperienced. 

Proper, with that out of the way in which, let’s run by way of these olive overshirt choices. 

Above I’m sporting it with a white T-shirt and black cotton/linen trousers from Casatlantic (El Jadida mannequin). The sneakers are basic Sagans from Baudoin & Lange in black suede, the belt is black alligator from Rubato. 

The olive is de facto good at softening these stark, high-contrast colors, and I like the truth that the end result will not be typical basic menswear. It has little in widespread with what I’d usually default to – i.e. navy shirt, cream trousers and brown sneakers. 

The black and olive appears extra trendy to me, and a pleasant various to that navy and cream whereas nonetheless being fairly good. 

The second choice is comparable, however loses that black ingredient, for those who don’t actually put on the color and so have little of it of their wardrobe. 

The trousers are darkish brown – a very darkish brown, so not that removed from black, though any darkish brown works. They’re the trousers from this Dalcuore go well with, so high-twist wool, Holland & Sherry Crispaire. 

That darkish brown is sweet with the identical black equipment, the suede Sagans and a white T-shirt. However a gray beneath the overshirt can also be nice, and softens the distinction. I wore white with all these outfits for simplicity. 

Final mixture – a way more informal one, the overshirt with my outdated light-blue classic Levi’s. 

I feel you possibly can see how nice the pale olive is with denim, and it’s good and relaxed with the sleeves rolled up, the T-shirt untucked. 

This final mixture captures the pliability that I feel readers could be afraid olive would lack. I used to be just a little too, if I’m sincere. I needed a 3rd color that was extra uncommon than the navy and brown (although after all these two have been very explicit shades) however was just a little not sure whether or not the olive could be versatile in any respect. 

It does seem like, and I’ve cherished sporting it in latest weeks in these combos – as nicely with extra apparent issues like cream or white trousers, or one thing smarter like a mid-grey wool trouser and a white shirt. 

Many issues work, as at all times. I’m certain readers will discover lots extra of their very own. 

In case anybody asks, by the way in which, no I don’t have a brand new Cartier watch. We shot this throughout the latest pop-up with Rubato, and I used to be sporting a distinct go well with through the day, with a distinct watch. 

That had a tan strap, which would not have labored significantly nicely right here. So I borrowed Carl from Rubato’s – each he and Oliver have little Cartier Tanks for gown watches. (You possibly can see Oliver’s in this piece in Stockholm.) 

So thanks Carl, your watch complimented these outfits fantastically. The strap is definitely a really darkish brown, flat and gloss alligator, which made me realise how a lot I remorse my resolution to have a domed, matte strap for my Reverso. I additionally want the bigger scales on Carl’s strap. Oh nicely. It’s a less expensive factor to vary than the watch.

These restocks along with store hyperlinks are:

Be aware there have been some small modifications because the final iterations:

• The overshirts have sleeves which are 1cm longer, following suggestions final yr
• The navy shorts, as talked about, at the moment are within the washed, sports activities make, just like the khaki and inexperienced fashions
• The selvedge chambray shirts not present the selvedge on the placket, as we felt this was cleaner and extra consistent with the aesthetic of the shirt, specializing in the great thing about the fabric
• Additionally, be aware that whereas another mills have began providing selvedge chambrays, they aren’t woven on classic shuttle looms and so haven’t got the identical texture
