FAQs

Does this shirt run large?

Yes, it features a relaxed regular fit, so if you prefer a slimmer profile, consider sizing down.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to hang-dry to maintain the fit and quality of the cotton fabric.

Is the material heavy?

It is mid-weight, designed as a layering piece rather than a heavy jacket.

How should I style the checkered pattern?

Pair it with solid-colored pants, such as navy or black chinos, to keep the focus on the shirt.

Is this suitable for formal events?

It is best suited for casual or smart-casual environments rather than formal occasions.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appearing wrinkled after washing

Ensure the shirt is hung on a wide-shouldered hanger immediately after the wash cycle finishes; steam ironing can help remove stubborn creases.

Buttons feeling loose

The thread may naturally loosen over time; use a standard needle and matching thread to reinforce the cross-stitching on the buttons.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile layering piece for multiple seasons
  • High-quality, durable cotton material
  • Timeless checkered pattern styling
  • Comfortable fit for everyday wear

Cons

  • Regular fit may feel too loose for some wearers
  • Requires careful laundering to maintain pattern integrity
  • Limited to cotton fabric which may wrinkle if not managed

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your ARKET overshirt in optimal condition, machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid harsh bleaching agents to protect the integrity of the black-and-white print. For best results, hang-dry to prevent shrinkage and reduce the need for aggressive ironing. If ironing is required, use a medium setting and turn the garment inside out to preserve the fabric finish. The overshirt pairs best with minimalist accessories given the busy nature of the checkered pattern.
