The B. Draddy The Vaughn overshirt has been launched by the brand as the perfect shoulder season garment that will layer well with additional garments to stave off the chill of winter that lingers in the spring air.
The garment is crafted with a blend of modal and Peruvian Pima cotton that combine to achieve a sumptuous feel against the skin, while also offering a touch of stretch to move with the wearer. The shirt boasts a brushed mélange jersey knit on the exterior and fleece on the interior to maintain a contemporary, casual silhouette that's suited for office wear but feels like loungewear.
The B. Draddy The Vaughn overshirt comes in Coastal Melange and Dunes Melange color options that are blue and tan-hued, respectively.
