Weekend Offender's Southbank Overshirt Features A 2-Way Stretch Nylon Fabric
Weekend Offender put a technical spin on the classic overshirt with the Southbank overshirt which features a superfine nylon fabric.
A fan favourite on the packed out terraces on matchday, the overshirt is a military inspired silhouette with origins also in classic workwear originally worn by artists & labourers. When it comes to a classic overshirt it's all about the functional pockets to the front which were ideal for storing M1 Garand clips & cigarettes in the dense jungles of Guadalcanal in WW2. Thanks to military influences from numerous sportswear designers & designer brands throughout the 90s & noughties, the overshirt has evolved to become much more than just a classic shacket (shirt jacket). With a focus on technical fabrics & garment innovation, brands like Weekend Offender have took in the overshirt as their own with subtle seasonal updates in the form of pocket detailing & new fabric technology. The Weekend Offender Southbank overshirt is a testament to their ongoing love affair with the classic military inspired silhouette.
