shirt jackets!

nice socks too tracer. you stylin

I've long pondered whether I could pull off a Wax London overshirt

thanks! the socks were a christmas present - my parents know i love socks - with a ridiculously cute conceit - they come in a pack of two, one adult size and one kid size for your kid awwwww.

the side seam pockets are very comfortable, in fact i forget they're there. i don't usually like to keep big stuff in there for very long but it's extremely handy in, say, sniffle season

it just seems like kind of far to reach back to put your hands in, tho i know its not a totally uncommon placement

yeah i guess you just get used to it. there is a stealth element that is not unpleasing

I like a slashed diagonal welted pocket myself but I acknowledge I'm particular. Or large patch pockets on the front, but that has something of an "art teacher/olde worlde craftperson" vibe. Which I'm also fine with.

yeah i would prefer having some sort of further forward than the seam pocket were i to get my jacket altered, which im almost certainly not going to lol, but pockets on the seams seems like the easiest operation considering the jacket is all one fabric and theres not more of it

its a nice jacket but its unlined wool which is scratchy also i own many light jackets sweatshirts fleeces and various things to keep me warm in the cold but not that cold weather

a few years ago my wife got me a stitchfix gift card thing as a birthday present. it was an interesting experience having clothes show up at my doorstep. they mostly look really good, but some of them revealed themselves to be shoddy quality over time (jeans esp). but i did get this nift shacket:

love it, and this is the perfect season. wearing it almost daily

that looks pretty sweet. i guess those are the pockets of your dreams cr?m?

That's sooo good. And Tracer, yours too! Top shacket marks for secured top pockets, open side pockets for standing around with your hands in.

from my parents lol

trying quite hard to remember the brand.. hmm

yeah great pockets for hands. there has been a guitar pick in one of the chest pockets for like the last two years and i always forget it's there. when i notice it it makes the shacket feel that much cooler

nice pockets for sure

Drinkin coffee, checkin emails, wearin a shacket with the collar up, in a room with the windows open to the grey fall day.

just checking in. wearing a shirt as a jacket today.

(admittedly not a shirt jacket.)

Timely. Thinking about overshirts & shackets today.

Looking at the Wax Whiting, as mentioned by Moodles upthread:

(no handpockets so feels slightly off-thread, though I wear heavy shirts as jackets plenty)

or a Form&thread atelier in ink, a purer shacket

I'm very close to going in on the Navy/Grey Plaid one, was literally just checking these out again

Would love this Todd Snyder chore coat.

I bought three fairly cheap ones from TK Maxx in blue, brown and white. Wear them all the time, sometimes with a roll neck sweater underneath although I'd like to find a better one than the one I already have

Currently wearing something very similar to that Todd Snyder chore coat that cost £15 from Uniqlo.

currently wearing a Balenciaga “garbage shovelling shirt” in tulle

Haha yeah it does make me feel a bit sick in my mouth when I see a £350 shacket described as a "chore jacket" or whatever

My look for the winter. My hand is in the way but I'm wearing a cheap H&M roll neck which I plan to upgrade at some point to a nicer fit and colour

I’m anti-camo in general and the price is steep, but this Cubist camo shirt jacket is kind of cool.

i am wearing a shirt jacket.

What one

I had this great garment I bought in the 2nd hand clothing shop in Clapham that was like a button down shirt at the collar and had a bottom that seemed a lot more like a jeans jacket, I don't think I've ever seen another like it. Have thought of trying to create something more like it. Think it was pretty light but that bottom was weird for a shirt. Including the side jacket waist adjustment tabs you get on the back of jeans jackets and a waist band strip so I don't think it would tuck into trousers easily. Fabric a lot more shirtish than external jacket .

Unfortunately it was in a bag that I lost while interailing in mid 85. So can't check to see if it had labels or anything, whether it was a mass made thing or more bespoke or smaller boutique level numbers of production.
