Ashcroft Overshirt
14oz brushed cotton twill, boxy cut, horn buttons. Ecru.
Heavy cotton, British lambswool, and patterns we've spent years correcting. We restock rather than release, so what's here is what there is.

Sizing
Measurements are of the garment laid flat, in inches, not of the body. Our cuts run generous — if you're between sizes and want it close, take the smaller.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 40" | 38" | 24.5" | 27" |
| M | 43" | 41" | 25.5" | 28" |
| L | 46" | 44" | 26.5" | 29" |
| XL | 49" | 47" | 27.5" | 30" |

Delivery & returns
£4.95 standard, 2 to 4 working days. Free on orders over £75. Next-day is £8.95 if ordered before 1pm on a weekday.
£12 flat, 5 to 8 working days. Duties are paid by you on arrival — we can't calculate them at checkout, so we don't pretend to.
£22 flat, 8 to 15 working days. Tracked. Same note on duties applies.
60 days, unworn, tags on. UK returns are free with the label in your parcel. We refund to the original payment method within 5 working days of it reaching us.
Send it back and reorder — it's faster than a swap and means you don't lose the size to someone else while it's in transit.
We price and charge in pounds sterling only. If your card is in another currency, your bank sets the rate.
Care
Hand wash cool or use a wool cycle, then dry flat away from a radiator. Don't hang knitwear wet. Depill with a comb, not a razor.
Machine wash at 30, inside out, no fabric softener. It'll soften on its own over about six washes. Expect a little shrinkage in the first one.
Never machine wash. Sponge with cold water, re-wax once a year. We re-wax any of our own jackets for £18 including return postage.
We repair anything we made, at any age. Seams and buttons are free, larger repairs quoted first. Email us a photo.
Questions
What people email us about most.
Late September, in the same rust and in a new black. It sells out most seasons, so join the restock list on the product page and you'll get four hours' notice before it goes public.
The heavy cottons shrink about 2% in length on the first wash, which our patterns already allow for. Wash at 30 and it stops there. The lambswool won't shrink if you keep it off a hot wash.
Yes. We cut one range and size it S to XXL by garment measurement rather than by gender. The size guide table is measured flat, so compare it against something you already own that fits.
No — we price and charge in pounds sterling only. Your bank converts at their rate on the day, so we can't tell you the exact figure your card will be charged.
Knitwear is woven in Yorkshire. Cotton garments are cut and sewn in Portugal by a factory we've used since 2018 and have visited. Waxed cotton comes from a Lancashire mill.
Usually, on a roughly ten-week cycle. We restock rather than chase new releases, so a size selling out means it's coming back rather than being discontinued.
