A cotton overshirt woven like a camp blanket. Wythe based the cloth on 1920s and 30s Beacon camp blankets, and you can see it in the pattern: cream and camel blocks that fade into soft stripes, with turquoise across the chest and again across the back.
It is the brand's first cotton jacquard since 2021, and it took years of trial and error to find a mill that could weave it the way Wythe wanted. The pattern is woven into the cloth rather than printed on it, so it follows the cut of the shirt across the pockets and placket.
It is cut roomy, like an oversized version of the Wythe workshirt, so it goes over a thermal, polo or oxford without sizing up. The brand says to take your usual size. The MM measures 23.25 inches across the chest laid flat, so check the chart against a shirt you already like before you choose.
Wear it open over a white tee with dark denim, or buttoned up under a waxed cotton jacket once the weather turns. The cream keeps it easy with navy, olive and grey. Peter Middleton started Wythe after working in fabric research at Ralph Lauren, and the cloth is where that shows.
