WHAT IS IT?
Gill Overton Shirt
WHAT SETS IT APART?
It’s no rarity for anglers to wear their fishing shirts in casual settings, but Gill has designed a functional, yet attractive shirt that’ll work on the boat or at the barbecue. Made to fit loose and comfortable, the Overton Shirt is treated with Gill’s exclusive Xpel technology; a safe, plant-based coating that repels water and stains like blood, slime and oil for easy cleanup after a day on the water — or a table-side spill.
HOW DO I USE IT?
The Overton features a button-down collar style, with a double vented mesh-lined rear venting and roll up sleeves with retainer loops and buttons. Chest patch pockets and chest front utilize press stud closures. The latter are attached to an inner placket — fabric strip down the chest — for a clean, concealed look. A fabric strip on the inner edge of the left chest patch pocket holds sunglasses, while a micro-fiber patch on the inside of the front bottom hem keeps lenses clean. With sizes XS-4XL, the Overton is available in blue check and white.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
I’ve always liked stud fasteners over traditional buttons as they’re quicker, more secure and less likely to fail. The concealed design gives the Overton shirt a clean, neat look. Also, I like how the chest pocket flaps literally fall in place — it feels like the weight of the stud fasteners helps here. Just be careful unsnapping the shirt, as those stud fasteners end at the neck. The collar has a traditional button, so if you try the Superman rip-it-open thing, like I almost did, you’re gonna tear the collar button off.
