United by Blue, the model behind the garment formally referred to as the Natural Corduroy Overshirt calls this heavy however cozy garment a “shacket.” That’s a portmanteau of “shirt” and “jacket,” after all, and it could be a bit too twee a phrase for me have been it not so damned correct right here. I actually do put on this factor like a jacket some days, and like a shirt on others. Actually, it does double-duty in “shirt mode,” so let’s begin there.
Worn just like the button-down, this garment works completely over a t-shirt on a light day. Cooler day? Go together with a protracted sleeve tee. Chilly day? Put on it beneath a heavier coat.
Ah, however what a few chilly day that’s not fairly bitter? Do what I do, and put on your shacket over a sweater worn over a tee. Not solely will you be good and heat, however layering appears cool, so rock it.
This shacket contains a thick collar, broad wale traces (“wales” being the precise vertical stripes that outline corduroy), a jacket-like straight hemline, and twin chest pockets that are additionally useful for stuff you need to put into pockets.
