commute overshirt
A shirt cut for a bike: long back, reflective inside the placket, office-plain outside.
three places, three grades
a grade with no reason is not a grade
- hikingusable
- Fine as a light layer on a mild path, but there is no repellent finish and no pocket security.
- cyclingsuitable
- Back drop 6 cm, underarm gusset for the reach, and a chest pocket that closes with a press-stud so it does not empty in a lean.
- commutingsuitable
- Reads as a plain overshirt at a desk; the reflective trim is inside the placket and invisible when buttoned.
Cycling grades account for back hem length, sleeve length with your arms forward on the bars, and whether there is a rear pocket you can reach. Rear pocket on this piece: no.

the piece
An overshirt with a 6 cm back drop, an underarm gusset for the reach to the bars, and reflective trim hidden inside the placket where only you know it is there. The trim is decorative — it is not protective equipment, and the notice below says so.
what it does, and where it stops
how we test- fabric weight
- 180 g/m²
- garment weight
- 322 g in EU 50 / M
- water repellency
- None. No repellent finish on this fabric.
- hydrostatic resistance (EN ISO 811)
- Not published.
- breathability (EN ISO 11092)
- Not published.
No water-repellent finish. This fabric wets through in rain and there is nothing on it to renew.
Not measured. This garment is water-repellent only, so no hydrostatic figure is published for it.
Not yet measured. No breathability figure is published and no breathability claim is made until it is measured to this standard.
- Back hem 6 cm below the front, measured at centre back
- Underarm gusset, so the hem does not lift when you reach forward
- Chest pocket closes with a press-stud
this is not personal protective equipment
This garment carries reflective trim. The trim is decorative: it is not personal protective equipment, it does not conform to EN ISO 20471 or to any other high-visibility standard, and it has not been tested or certified as safety equipment by anybody. Wearing it does not make a road safe. We sell no protective equipment of any kind — no helmets, no body protection, no certified high-visibility clothing.
- where the trim is
- Inside the front placket, 30 cm band, hidden when the shirt is buttoned
- what the trim is made of
- Glass-bead retro-reflective tape, silver, stitched not bonded

Garment measurements in centimetres, taken flat. Tolerance ±1 cm — a run of fabric is never exact, and we would rather print the tolerance than pretend it away.
the same garment, in a riding position

Measured on a mannequin held at a 35° forward lean. A forward lean lifts the back hem and pulls the sleeve back from the wrist, so these figures are lower than the standing ones — that is the effect, stated rather than hidden.
