Every panel of the car is assembled from steel tools — open-ended spanners along the wings, sockets in the arches, cogs in place of the grille — drawn in bright metal against the dark cotton so the shape reads clean from across a room.

The fabric is French terry — the loops are left unbrushed, so the inside is smooth rather than fluffy. That is what makes it lighter on the body and quicker to cool down in, and it is the single biggest difference between this and its heavyweight twin. The face of the fabric is 100% organic cotton. Set-in sleeves, a 2×2 ribbed collar and a self-fabric neck tape so it sits flat and does not chafe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear it over a t-shirt on a spring morning, on its own through autumn, or under a coat in the cold.
