What is a shacket?

A shacket is a hybrid of a shirt and a jacket. Hence the name. It gives you the style of a casual shirt, but crafted from sturdier fabrics like wool, canvas, or denim. This makes a shacket perfect for the transitional season: not as heavy as a winter coat, yet warmer than a regular shirt.

What sets a shacket apart from an overshirt?

A shacket and an overshirt are close cousins, but with subtle differences. An overshirt is thinner, often made of cotton, nylon, or linen. It acts as an additional layer for indoors or outdoors on milder days. A shacket, on the other hand, falls weight-wise between an overshirt and a men's jacket. Typically constructed from thicker materials, it's ideal as an outer layer in autumn or spring.

How to style a men's shacket?

A shacket is functional and bold, making it a great match for denim, boots, and beanies. Its rugged look, courtesy of coarser materials and texture, lends a raw edge to your outfit. Pair it with a hoodie, turtleneck, or chunky knit jumper for Scandinavian nonchalance or blue-collar workwear style.
