Olymp introduces Cover Shirt with opaque cotton twill

German shirt and menswear brand Olymp has introduced the Olymp Cover Shirt, according to FashionUnited. The company said its specially developed opaque fabric reduces the visibility of skin, underwear and tattoos, addressing a specific customer need in business wear.

The shirt uses a finely textured 100 percent cotton twill. Olymp said the diagonal weave provides a soft feel while increasing opacity, with the difference particularly visible in light-coloured shirts. The fabric also has the brand’s non-iron, wrinkle-free properties. Heiko Ihben, managing director for brand, product and human resources, described the development as combining shirt-making expertise with practical benefits for customers.

The Cover Shirt is available now in three fits: Comfort Fit, Modern Fit and Body Fit. It comes in six colours: white, off-white, rosé, light blue, dark blue and black. Olymp Bezner KG is based in Bietigheim-Bissingen near Stuttgart and is represented in more than 40 countries.

Why it matters For business-wear buyers and suppliers, the launch highlights opacity as a product-development feature alongside comfort and easy care, with Olymp offering the fabric across multiple fits and colours.
