Reed - Boiled Merino Wool overshirt Dark Army
The Reed overshirt sits right in that sweet spot between a shirt jacket and a blazer — it has the relaxed feel of one and the clean lines of the other. It's cut from boiled merino wool, which gives it a denser, more structured feel than a regular knit, with a lightly textured surface and a soft hand that makes it genuinely comfortable to wear. The buttoned front and discreet side pockets keep things tidy without overcomplicating the silhouette.
Worth knowing: boiled wool has a natural insulating quality that makes it a solid layering piece for autumn and winter, but it's not waterproof, so it's better treated as a mid-layer or for dry days. The merino used here is mulesing-free, which is increasingly a standard worth looking for.
