Men’s Shackets

When you’re wondering if you need a jacket or not, reach for one of our men’s shackets. These versatile garments are exactly what the name suggests – a handy cross between a shirt and a jacket. Explore our collection of coats and jackets for men to find layering heroes that will see you through the seasons. We have airy styles, as well as heavyweight pieces that you can pull on as outerwear or slip under a puffer.

Many shackets take their inspiration from flannel shirts for men or men’s utility jackets. That means you can expect relaxed fits and details such as deep patch pockets, revere necklines and cuffed sleeves. A row of buttons or poppers at the front can be done up or left open. Browse our men’s linen coats and jackets to find shackets in goes-with-everything shades of sand or navy. Softly textured fabrics with gentle drape ensure these are all about casual sophistication. Combine yours with men’s trousers in a similar material for a modern take on tailoring.

Heading off on an outdoor adventure? Checked shackets for men cut from brushed cotton feel suitably rugged. Choose one with a pattern of earthy reds or muted greens to wear with your favourite pair of men’s jeans and some chunky leather boots. For days in town, swap in some men’s trainers with bouncy soles and grab a button-up Henley from our selection of men’s tops and tees.

Men's Shackets FAQs

What is a shacket?

A shacket (short for shirt jacket) is a hybrid between a shirt and a lightweight jacket. Men’s shackets are usually made from thicker fabrics like wool, cord or heavy cotton, and are ideal for layering in cooler weather. Shackets offer the relaxed look of a shirt with the warmth and structure of outerwear, and function a little like men’s overshirts. Our men’s shackets come in both lightweight and brushed styles, perfect for layering between seasons.

What’s the difference between a jacket and a shacket?

The main difference between men’s jackets and men’s shackets lies in weight and structure. A jacket tends to be more tailored, often lined and built for warmth or weather protection. A shacket, on the other hand, is softer, lighter and unlined, designed to be worn over a T-shirt or jumper. Easy to throw on when a full jacket feels too heavy, the style bridges the gap between a shirt and a coat

What goes well with a shacket?

Shackets are versatile and pair effortlessly with casual staples. Wear one over a plain T-shirt and jeans for a laid-back look, or layer it with a roll-neck jumper and chinos for something smarter. Trainers, boots or desert shoes all complement the look. Stick to earthy or neutral colours to make your outfit cohesive and easy to style.
