Name: Slip On Bumpy Wool Shirt - Chestnut Brown
SKU: 411078

Based out of Japan's Iwate Prefecture, one of the northernmost provinces, Gorsch was born into a quiet rural life, taking inspiration from antique German tailoring and early proto-workwear. The garments are beautifully constructed, frequently making use of deadstock vintage textiles, with tailored silhouettes and unisex styling.

Gorsch's Fall/Winter 2024 styles are a continuation of the Spring/Summer collection, taking inspiration from the wardrobe and personal style of a local grape farmer, Mr. Sasaki, and his wife, Kanako. They run a small farm in Iwate's Shiwa District, growing grapes for white, red, and orange natural wines using what Gorsch refer to as "natural farming principles" - having purchased and restored an abandoned vineyard to produce naturally fermented wines.

With names like Bauer & Bauerin, both meaning "farmer" in German, the styles are understated - "simple" in appearance yet deceptively complex in execution. The rustic undertones in each piece's design help to balance the more formal silhouettes, creating elevated casual garments that fit easily into a winter wardrobe, whether you're in the country or the city: you'll look your absolute best.

The Slip On Shirt actually buttons up, and is more akin to a classic work shirt than a vintage popover. It's cut with a relaxed body and curved shirttail hem, with a single flap chest pocket and double pleats at the back yoke for additional shaping. Closing up with tonal buttons, it's got a classic collar with a uniquely swooped placket just beneath.

It's made from a dry and highly textured 100% wool fabric that's rough without being scratchy or uncomfortable. Surprisingly lightweight, it's got a very relaxed and fluid drape, but features all the usual perks of wool, from heat retention to moisture-wicking.

Fits true to size with a relaxed fit. Dry clean or spot clean.
