THINKING MU corduroy overshirt CABIN DELFT organic cotton

Okay, so this is one of those items that immediately makes us think: YES. You want this. The CABIN DELFT by THINKING MU sits exactly between a shirt and a jacket. Made from wonderfully sturdy wide-wale corduroy, executed in an incredibly beautiful blue color and made from 100% organic cotton, too. Love it!

Wear it open over a T-shirt as an overshirt, buttoned up as a shirt, or simply use it as a light jacket during spring and autumn. The kind of thing you hang on the coat rack and then throw over absolutely everything.

What makes the THINKING MU CABIN DELFT overshirt so great?

For starters, the color, of course. DELFT is an intense, bright blue that immediately elevates a simple outfit. But definitely take a look at the fabric: this isn't fine corduroy, but a nicely wide-wale corduroy with clearly visible ridges. This gives the overshirt plenty of structure, making it look rugged and a bit retro.

The three patch pockets on the front – two lower and one on the chest – give it even more of a real work jacket appearance.

• 100% organic cotton
• Sturdy wide-wale corduroy
• Gorgeous bright blue color DELFT
• Can be worn as an overshirt and as a light jacket
• Button closure at the front
• Three patch pockets with flaps
• Classic shirt collar
• Long sleeves with cuffs
• Cool, relaxed look

What is corduroy, actually?

Corduroy is a fabric recognized by the raised ridges that run lengthwise across the material. The wider those ridges are, the more pronounced and rugged the effect.

For the CABIN, THINKING MU has specifically chosen such a wide wale. This gives the fabric plenty of character and makes it perfectly suited for an overshirt or jacket. And because it is made of cotton, it feels comfortable and natural.

How does the THINKING MU CABIN DELFT overshirt fit?

The CABIN has a relaxed, straight fit and is intended to be worn easily over other layers. Therefore, just choose your usual size if you want to wear it as shown in the photos.

If you mainly want to use it as a jacket and wear a thicker sweater underneath, for example, keep that in mind when choosing your size.

How do you style a blue corduroy overshirt?

This blue might seem bold, but it is surprisingly easy to style. With a simple white, ecru, or light blue T-shirt underneath and a pair of dark jeans, you are basically good to go. But it also looks incredibly cool with brown, beige, camel, or olive green.

And precisely because the CABIN looks a bit shorter and sturdier than a regular shirt, it also works very well as a transitional jacket. Optionally roll up the sleeves, T-shirt underneath, and you’re off.

Is the CABIN DELFT a shirt or a jacket?

Both. And that is exactly why we like it so much. An overshirt is essentially the hybrid: sturdier and more jacket-like than a normal shirt, but lighter than a real coat.

On cooler days, you can wear it indoors as an extra layer, and as soon as it gets a bit milder outside, it can easily replace your jacket. Wonderfully practical, without looking even a little bit “practical.” ;-)

How do you wash the THINKING MU CABIN overshirt?

Try not to wash corduroy more often than necessary and always follow the wash label inside the garment. Wash at a low temperature, preferably inside out and with similar colors. No fabric softener and preferably no tumble dryer: that makes both us and your clothes much happier.

By hanging the garment neatly after washing, it retains its shape well and the characteristic ribbed structure suffers as little as possible.
