A lot of things have come and gone since 1995
From chunky grey desktop computers to the humble VHS tape, creations once touted as the pinnacle of modernity are now relics of the past.
The Throwshirt is a little different. First created nearly three decades ago, this masterpiece of hearty canvas and nifty details is one classic that’s managed to stay fresh—still just as useful as ever.
A mainstay of the KAVU range for nearly 30 years
One of our longest running designs, the Throwshirt is a highly functional overshirt that sits somewhere between a rugby shirt, a work shirt and a windbreaker. Thanks to its truly unique design, it’s become a real fan favourite—a mainstay of the KAVU range nearly 30 years later.

A KAVU video guide
100% organic cotton canvas fabric
“Throwshirts are certified bonfire buddies. A squirrely ember can wreak havoc on your favourite technical puffy, but it’s no match for a canvas Throwshirt.”
–Barry Barr, KAVU Founder.
Gusseted Underarms
The underarm gussets allow freedom of movement in the Throwshirt–making it ideal for rock climbing and hiking.
Velcro wrist closures
To keep out the breeze (and the bugs).
Bias Tape
The bias tape that runs around the hem, collar and cuffs is another clever feature that helps to reduce any risk of fraying.

As for the name?
Things couldn’t be simpler—the Throwshirt is designed to be a shirt you can throw on, the kind of no nonsense piece of kit that you can grab on your way out the door before heading off on your next adventure—just right for throwing over a hoodie or sweatshirt when you need a bit of extra warmth or protection.
Whilst a lot of workwear can feel a bit restrictive—sacrificing movement for durability—the Throwshirt’s shape means it can tick both boxes.
Made in USA
Today, not much has changed... in fact, nothing has changed—and the Throwshirt is still made in the same American sew shop to the same pattern with the same materials.
The Throwshirt comes in a full zip option and a half-zip option... And if you do want something a little different, there’s also a fully-fleece Throwshirt for when Jack Frost comes knocking, as well as the Throwshirt Flex—a stretch corduory version.
