Recently rummaging around in my drawers I rediscovered a tartan overshirt I bought many years ago in a climbing shop in Wales. It's labelled Gelert, who still supply outdoor gear here. It's turned out ot be a very useful garment, doubling as a jacket and jumper and often worn, layered up, on the coldest days outdoors. Often overshirts are made of wool, fleece, thick padded cotton so they take the place of lightweight jackets.
Here are a few other ways of wearing overshirts -
