The shirt jacket can be worn on its own or, like a shirt, under a jacket, making it the ideal garment for the transitional seasons. This model from Blue de Gênes is made of skin-friendly, breathable cotton; a small amount of spandex enhances comfort and helps the garment retain its shape. The fabric of this unlined jacket has a textured feel. The cuffs are buttoned, and two patch chest pockets with buttoned flaps provide storage for small everyday items.

Long ago, dockworkers in Genoa wore work clothes made of a strong cotton fabric dyed with indigo. Since Genoa belonged to France at the time, this went by the French name "Bleu de Gênes", which in English-speaking countries became "Blue Jeans". Against the backdrop of this history, the Blue de Gênes label was launched in Kolding, Denmark, in 2010. But Ole Madsen, the mastermind behind it, has long since gone beyond jeans. He manufactures authentic clothing from selected materials, whose timeless design literally endures the years. Production takes place almost exclusively in Europe, with Blue de Gênes working with small, family-run businesses that are each specialists in their field. Thus, the jeans come from northern Italy, some pants from Turkey and the shirts from Portugal.
