WORKWEAR OVERSHIRT

R.Newbold is a British workwear brand with roots dating back to 1885, originally known for producing durable, high-quality garments like utility jackets, trousers, and uniforms — designed with function and longevity in mind. The label had a strong identity in traditional British craftsmanship and workwear aesthetics.

In the 1990s, the brand was revived through a unique and now highly regarded collaboration with Paul Smith, one of Britain’s most iconic fashion designers. Paul Smith — known for blending classic tailoring with quirky, modern details — took the heritage of R.Newbold and reimagined it for a younger, street-savvy audience.

The Paul Smith x R.Newbold line became a cult favourite in Japan, where it was exclusive to the Japanese market. It fused British workwear and military inspirations with a distinctly Japanese streetwear sensibility. Think utility vests, camo prints, boxy silhouettes, contrast stitching, and unexpected colour pops — all tied together with Paul Smith’s signature playfulness.

This overshirt features an interestic pocket design, with two side pockets, and extra storage pockets at the chest. YKK zipper.
