The New Westley Richards Huntsman Overshirt

Overshirts rival jackets in warmer climes, where mornings and evenings require more than one layer and hunting conditions may dictate some protection from abrasion or direct sunlight.

By Westley Richards & Co.

Neither a shirt nor a jacket, the over-shirt fills that half-way gap making for a practical, flexible and popular garment for everyday. Showing a strong North American aesthetic, the Huntsman is a two-tone contrasting patchwork, with darker and lighter shades of olive drab forming a striking look, which breaks-up the silhouette.

The Huntsman carries all the details expected of a Westley Richards garment, with properly-sewn horn buttons, epaulets on the shoulder and tabs to secure rolled-up sleeves. A single patch pocket is complemented by four ammunition slots, holding cartridges up to .375 calibre.

Easy-care is a desirable quality these days and the Huntsman is machine washable at 30 degrees and requires no ironing. Its polyester/cotton mix technical fabric is quick drying and water-resistant.

It is ideal for American, African or European hunting in warmer conditions and makes a convenient travel garment, with its casual good looks, low maintenance attitude and ample array of storage pockets.

For a casual, modern look, pair the Huntsman with a Westley Richards Ball Cap, available in a variety of colours, and Pathfinder Shorts. These are a super-comfortable cotton hunting short with a touch of stretch in the Japanese fabric, real horn buttons and a locking zip fly.
