The Shacket

Layer up with our shirt jackets

Shackets, also known as shirt jackets or overshirts, are a must-have in every man's wardrobe. Not quite a shirt, not quite a jacket, but the perfect mix of both. These versatile pieces are your best companion when the weather can't make up its mind.

At MR MARVIS, we're all about versatile wardrobe foundations. That's why we decided it was time to introduce not just one, but two stylish shirt jackets to our own lineup: The Wool Zip Shacket, a casual design with a zipped front that's made from boiled wool, and The Shacket, made from organic cotton twill with a timeless plaid pattern and a buttoned front.

So when do you wear these shirt-jacket hybrids, exactly? Shackets are ideal for those transitional months, but they're not exclusively designed for autumn or spring. As the weather cools down, you can also throw an overshirt over a cosy pullover and wear it under a heavier coat: a clever way to add warmth without compromising style.

When it comes to styling a shacket, the options are endless. Want to keep it casual? Wear it over a Heavy Tee, add your favourite Jeans, and slip into stylish Sneakers. For a dressier look, layer your shirt jacket over a classic Cotton Shirt and toss on some chinos, like The Coolerdays.

The Shacket is available in three timeless checkered colourways: blue Kings Arms, burgundy Red Lions and green Fox & Hounds. The Wool Zip Shacket arrives in classic beige Baristas, light grey Oysters and dark blue Cosmics this season.

    New: The Retro Zip Pullover

    Meet The Retro Zip Pullover, a nod to (après-)ski styles from the past with a modern twist. Crafted entirely from wool, including 50% recycled fibres, this mid-weight 8 gauge knit is designed for versatility and comfort. Perfect for days outdoors and relaxed nights in, it's a go-to piece for adding the right kind of retro to your wardrobe.

    Made with meticulous attention to detail, The Retro Zip Pullover has a plain jersey-knit base and a high collar with a zip and a branded zip puller for subtle recognition. The jacquard-knit snowflake pattern and stripes add vintage flair but feel decidedly contemporary, too.

    Pair The Retro Zip Pullover with warmer trousers, like The Heavy Classics or The Coolerdays, in a darker colour and finish off with leather sneakers for a polished, casual look. Or pair it with a staple Tee, tapered jeans and your favourite boots if you're looking for something more relaxed.
