The Shacket
Back to overview

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 Seersucker Jacket

    Meet The Seersucker Jacket: the breezy finishing touch to your outfit. Designed for days that call for ease, versatility and a touch of texture, this jacket brings together classic bomber influences and modern detailing, wrapped up in a lightweight seersucker fabric that feels as good as it looks.

    The Seersucker Jacket is inspired by the iconic Harrington jacket and features a bomber fit that’s relaxed without losing its shape. Clean, sporty and easy to wear, it’s finished with a standing collar that adds a subtle edge and keeps everything neatly in place – whether you want to wear it open or zipped up. The lightweight seersucker fabric gives the jacket its distinctive texture and airy feel, adding some extra personality to your everyday looks. It’s ideal for layering through spring, summer evenings and even early autumn days.

    As always, it’s the details that make the difference. At the front, you’ll find two pockets with flaps and magnetic closures, which are practical, secure and easy to use. On the inside, an inner slanted pocket with zipper closure keeps your essentials safely tucked away. The Seersucker Jacket’s outer shell is made of 100% organic cotton. This is combined with a body lining made of recycled polyester and a sleeve lining made of polyester. This jacket, which comes in three marvellous colours, is one you’ll reach for again and again – whether you’re heading out for the day or layering up as the evening cools down. Pair it with The Techwools or The Classic Chinos to strike the perfect balance between smart and casual or wear it with The Midweight Tee or The Knitted Tee for effortless warm weather style. This jacket fits right in, wherever you take it, and will remain a firm favourite every season.
