The Evans Overshirt in Charcoal Birdseye Wool

Button-Ups
$118may be out of stock

The verdict

A wool overshirt with structured birdseye weave—solid for cool-season layering if you want texture and don't mind wool's care needs.

Fit

Birdseye wool is tightly woven and structured; Evans overshirts are cut with room for layering. Expect a crisp, tailored drape compared to looser cotton overalls.

Quality

Wool birdseye is durable and retains shape; typical of Taylor Stitch's quality construction. The tight weave resists pilling and ages well.

Price check

At $117.60 (marked down), fair value for wool overshirt. Wool pricing is steep, but the discount makes this competitive with mid-tier overalls.

Best for

Men layering in autumn and winter who appreciate structure and don't shy away from dry-cleaning or hand-washing.

Care

Wool requires gentle care—professional dry cleaning or hand-wash in cool water. Brush with a soft bristle brush to refresh the nap and remove dust.

True to size

Owners and reviewers agree Taylor Stitch runs true to size, but the cuts are slim and every pant ships with a long (34"+) inseam.

Reviewers who tested multiple pieces report the brand fits true to its own size chart — one who sized down against the chart got a jacket that was uncomfortably snug and now advises trusting the listed size. Because shirts and knits cut slim, the recurring advice is to take the larger size if you fall between two. On bottoms, waists run true but reviewers consistently flag long inseams — one measured roughly 35-36 inches on a size 34 — so shorter wearers should plan to cuff or hem. A minority of owners report item-level inconsistency, notably on tees, where one buyer had to go from a 40 medium to a 42 large.

Sizing advice: Order your usual size (chest size for shirts), size up only if between sizes since cuts run slim, and budget for hemming pants — inseams start at 34 inches.

What owners report about Taylor Stitch button-ups

Reviewers consistently describe the button-up line as trim and tailored — cut close in the chest with a hem length that works tucked or untucked — and rate the construction as sturdy, with long-term owners reporting years of hard wear. Sizing runs by chest measurement rather than alpha sizes, and the brand tells shirt buyers to order their jacket size. The main recurring complaints are sizing inconsistency between styles and some longtime customers saying quality became less consistent after production moved overseas.

Strengths
Owners repeatedly single out durability and off-the-rack fit — reviewers describe the oxford as a daily-wear shirt they expect to last for years.
Watch out for
The trim cut can be tight for broader builds, buyers report sizing inconsistency between styles, and some longtime customers say quality got patchier after the brand moved production overseas.
Sizing
Shirts use chest-based sizing and run slim; reviewers advise ordering your jacket size per the brand's guidance rather than guessing an alpha size.
