When cold fall weather beckons, where do you turn? Well, your wardrobe, sure, but there’s one item we reach for above all others when it comes to transitional style in the outerwear department.
Leave the bulky parka at home for now, shelve your lightweight denim jacket and throw on a rugged, versatile shirt jacket. It’s that easy, at least on paper.
The best shirt jackets are the ultimate go-between, with the ability to be worn atop all your other favorite menswear staples, from a long-sleeve merino T-shirt to a classic Oxford or chambray shirt. When you want an added layer, but not a heavy layer, a shirt jacket is your best friend. Commonly made from everything from soft cotton flannel to hard-wearing waxed canvas, the shirt jacket belongs on your back as we cross from late summer into fall in earnest.
