Equator Shirt
Made with a rare and ultra lightweight silk-like cotton from the Nile Delta.
- Ultra lightweight weighing 200 grams
- Made with silk-like cotton from the Nile Delta
- Advanced ventilation system with 18 concealed air vents
Home to some of the hottest and most humid places on the planet, the equator carves through dense tropical jungles, warm seas, and crowded cities. Instead of seasons or temperature changes you’re more likely to be hit by a wall of heat, sun, rain and humidity. But as global temperatures rise and climate zones shift, designing clothing for the equator is like designing for our future.
So the Equator Shirt is built to keep you comfortable in all 40,000km of one of the most extreme environments we currently inhabit. The shirt starts with one of the lightest and softest fabrics on the planet, a rare, silk-like cotton from the Nile Delta. We then turned this into a phenomenally lightweight technical shirt by adding stretch, strength and UV protection. And with every detail designed to keep you cool, we engineered the shirt with the most advanced ventilation system we’ve ever made – 18 concealed air vents built with laser cutting and super soft Italian mesh that work together like built-in air-con.

Built with thornproof fabric invented 200 years ago for life in the woods.
Technical Details
Woodsmen needed new clothes for dangerous work
Original woodsmen faced the kind of dangers you’d normally only find in nightmares. Falling from 300ft, burning to death, or being crushed by runaway logs. So they needed clothes that were hard-wearing enough to take on life in the forest, but also soft enough to wear sleeping in damp wooden huts for months at a time. Living in isolated camps with little or no access to water, warm meals or fresh clothes, the hours were long, the work itinerant and the accommodation rough. They travelled from camp to camp, working from “can see to can’t see,” risking injury and death on the way.
Every jacket is three layers thick
Lumberjacks would spend months sleeping in damp wooden huts in the clothes they worked in, so they needed tough gear. Our Lumberjacket is built from an advanced three-layer system that would work in any era. The outer layer is engineered from hardwearing wool and centuries-old knowledge. The middle layer is built with compressed and lightweight insulation. While the inside is lined with ultra-durable Cordura. It makes the Lumberjacket versatile in any environment, from exploring the four billion hectares of forest on the planet, navigating new cities, or working overtime in the office.
An iconic shirt was born
In the September 1894 edition of Munsey’s Magazine, one lumberjack explained exactly why a lumberjack’s most important possession was their shirt. “It’s a life fraught with many dangers. Falling trees and rolling logs have caused a long list of deaths; and it is on this account that the woodman’s outer garments are of the brightest colours, blue, green, red, and yellow being the more prominent. The men are thereby able to see one another more distinctly through the thick underbrush, and by a timely warning avert a great many dangers.”
We triple-stitch it
Every Lumberjacket uses over 60 metres of super-thick thread. The construction uses triple chain stitched seams in the critical areas of wear and stress, like the side, shoulders, arm and yoke seams. Instead of one line of thread you have three lines stitched in the same place – the same stitch being sewn over twice more. So it won’t snap like a conventional straight stitch can. It’s a technique more found in heavy vintage denim and chore jacket manufacturing, to create stronger clothes.
