Product Insights
The BOSS 100% Virgin Wool Overshirt is a workwear-derived blazer alternative for smart casual, with a boxy untucked fit from French railway and British military pocket heritage. Its uncoated virgin wool provides subtle texture, breathability, and fluidity for comfortable layering as a mid-layer or over an Oxford shirt, regulating temperature and moisture for all-season use. Wool’s natural properties make it odor- and wrinkle-resistant, requiring only daily brushing and airing, with dry cleaning every 4-6 wears, while feeling up to two times cooler than synthetics and absorbing 35% of its weight before feeling wet.

- Temperature regulation
- In warm, dry conditions, the wool can feel up to twice as cool to the touch as synthetic alternatives.
- Moisture management
- Wool absorbs up to 35% of its weight before feeling wet.
- Odor resistance
- Wool absorbs and locks away sweat odors within the fiber, releasing them upon washing, and the overshirt can be aired between wears to stay fresh.
- Wrinkle recovery
- Wool fibers stretch up to 30% and return, shedding wrinkles.
- Thermal regulation
- Wool's 3D crimp insulates; it absorbs 35% moisture without dampness and feels 2× cooler.
- Ease of care
- Wool resists odors; airing and brushing maintain freshness.
- Washing instructions
- Professional dry cleaning is recommended; machine washing is not advised because it can damage the fabric.
- Fit comparison
- The relaxed fit is boxier and roomier through the chest and shoulders than BOSS's regular fit, though exact measurement differences are not specified.
- Moisture vapor handling
- The virgin wool absorbs and releases twice as much moisture vapor as cotton and thirty times as much as polyester.
- Breathability
- Wool garments rank among the most breathable of common apparel fibers because the fiber's hydrophilic core pulls moisture vapor from the skin.
