Taskmaster Overshirt - Greyscale
Taskmaster Overshirt - Greyscale
100% Lambswool
Designed for the well-adapting individuals who excel at both work and leisure, this is a casual piece that embodies more hardwearing properties, a practical semi-outerwear that can easily be worn solo or styled over a knit or tee on chillier days.
Crafted with heavier fabrics, this is a direct reference to a general work shirt — less sinuous than our usual garment, the overshirt is cut in a slightly more semi-fitted silhouette to allow both tucking in and out, topped with slightly oversized utility chest pockets, with absolutely no fuss and feathers, but only having functionality in mind.
Taking squared objects as the framework for this garment, we combined the silhouette with the pattern of the cloth, hence the use of plaid. A normal colourful plaid gives out a country feel to the garment. But when executed in greyscale format, it leaves room for interpretation. To style this, you may either go head-to-toe monochrome for a tonal look, featuring clean lines to help define a sleek figure. Otherwise, adding a pop of colour to the rest of the outfit conjures up Big Apple nostalgia, which goes down the casual-wear route with just a hint of its sartorial roots via the sophisticated crafting technique the house offers.
Lambswool borrows the look of classic tweeds, which is perfect for a workwear-inspired piece while retaining moderately fine textures that is good to the skin. The natural stretch property of lambswool also enables this piece to be involved in more actions, perfect for jacketless weekends and casual day-offs.
Pair this with:
Knitted T-shirt in Ecru, Fossil or Espresso, Pleated trousers in Forest Green and Civilman trousers in Denim White or Taupe.
Also available in ink blue

Suitable for all smart to casual settings, there is nowhere this pair of trousers can’t take you.
Civilman Trousers are the relaxed versions of your tailored dress trousers. Like a chino, it is at the same time a step-up of the rugged jeans/classic denim. It embodies a modest and courteous image, mostly casual with a hint of dressiness. We specifically sourced a hard-wearing cotton drill that offers excellent form and durability for everyday use.
This design is based on the classic five-pocket denim, built-in with curved inset pockets on the sides of the front with a coin pocket (formerly referred to as a watch pocket). The traditionally big patch back pockets are purposely replaced with our signature anchor-shaped flaps. Cut for a mid to high-rise, straight-legged, perfect for tailoring and casualwear. Wear them pressed with the centre crease or without, up to your preference.
Pair this with:
Workman Corduroy shirt in oatmeal or moss green, Taskmaster Overshirt in ink blue or greyscale, Short Sleeve Polo in club navy or tennis white, and Lazyman Jacket in camelhair or grey herringbone.
Care tips: Cold wash (below 30°C) by hand or machine, hang dry only. Due to the nature of the cloth, a total of 2cm length shrinkage may apply from the first few machine washes.

100% Wool
Specifically sourced from the exclusive archive of Savile Row. A vintage medium to heavy-weight wool fabric with substantial volume, providing the ideal structural foundation for the cloth to hang beautifully, which is also well-described as a drape. It is a trusty piece to keep you warm over the winter. It may look nothing out of the ordinary at first sight, but once giving it a second glance, one would realise the colour and pattern proportion is where the highlight truly lies upon. The softened black & white colour scheme comes not only because of the finishing of the wool but also the soft ecru yarns meekly running across the whole cloth, giving the piece an assuaged look. While having a nuanced take on colours, the size of the classic glen plaid gets slightly magnified to distinct itself from the usual plaid suit jacket. The differentiation allows a more casual appeal to style with artefacts that are more than just a shirt and a tie, living up to the expectations of a sport jacket.
Our jacket features an unpadded shoulder with our signature lapel buttonhole, with higher armholes giving the garment an exceptional range of motion. We’ve also extended the shoulders slightly with our classic subtly-roped silhouette for a masculine yet elegant and timeless look.
Pair this with:
Workman Corduroy shirt in oatmeal or mushroom brown, Civilman Trousers in white denim or taupe and knitwear of any kinds in your desired colour.

100% Supima Cotton
Our interpretation of a casual t-shirt that frames a clean and smart look. An idea inspired by 1950s sportswear, it is the culmination of contemporary and ‘high vintage’.
The style features a simple design with specific proportions — a higher neck, ribbed sleeve and collar, shorter body and longer ribbed hem. This allows the t-shirt to hug around your trousers’ waistband without going too long or needing to be tucked in, maintaining good overall proportions even when paired with mid to high-rise trousers and sport coats.
This product is made of fine-gauge organic cotton, handpicked and sustainably farmed. (Please read our Ethical Sourcing and Production Statement) Incorporating full knitted construction, this breathable summer knitwear gives a defined body and contour. To enhance the luxurious silken finish and soft hand, the garment has gone through a tumble washing procedure in a final step unique to The Anthology.
Pair this with: practically anything in your wardrobe, be it a suit, sport jacket or Lazyman jacket. Colour-wise we suggest blue, brown, grey and white. Sneakers and espadrilles are also suitable.
Care tips: Cold wash (below 30°C) by hand or machine, hang dry only
