Summer (sh)jackets
Okay so a bit biased as one of us is wearing this while posting, but hey it fits like a glove and looks great with only the top one/two buttons done up. Its nice and light weight for S/S and although unfortunately not flannel, you can still pretend you’re Easy-E (pre AIDS). Heres what the Topman blog had to say about it:
“If you’re not familiar with this garment type yet, then get to know it quickly as its set to be big in A/W 09. With the formal styling of a shirt shaped straighter and often fabricated like a jacket, this truly is a diverse wardrobe piece. Wear it open with a tee underneath or buttoned to the top with a pair of skinny jeans, however you rock the Shacket it’s a great update for A/W 09.”
