Iron Shirt / Bedford Cord Navy

100% cotton / 11.5 oz


Our classic Iron Shirt, redone in Bedford cord, the same hard-wearing cloth we’ve used for Bob Job Chore Coats and our GVNR-B jeans. The Iron Shirt is the sharpest overshirt we make. No noise. Just a strong silhouette packed with purpose for a lifetime of service. British-made to last like everything we do.

Same look, different engine

We’ve made Iron Shirts in denim, canvas and moleskin. This is the first in Bedford cord, a fabric that’s been used for generations in hard-wearing applications like equestrian clothing and upholstery. It isn’t coarse or stiff. It’s soft, comfortable and easy to wear from day one. And despite the name, it’s not corduroy. The ridges may look similar, but the construction is completely different. Corduroy uses cut pile. Bedford cord is woven. The result is a fabric with structure, strength and a subtle texture that ages beautifully.

The one with the big pockets

You wouldn’t know it at first glance, but the Iron Shirt has the biggest pockets of any HebTroCo style. They’re designed to sit flat, keeping the profile clean and sharp, while extending across the full lower section of the shirt to give you serious carrying capacity. To give you an idea: the internal pockets will comfortably hold two bottles of wine PER SIDE. That’s why we call them “bags for life.”
