Men's Shirts & Shirt Jackets

Brooklyn Cloth's men's shirts collection is built around the shirt jacket: a midweight button-up that looks like a shirt but is cut from heavier fabric, so it layers like a light jacket. Styles come in denim, flannel and jacquard with a relaxed, slightly oversized fit, designed in Brooklyn, New York for everyday streetwear outfits.

Wear one buttoned up as a shirt, or open over a tee or long sleeve as an outer layer. When it gets colder, layer it over a hoodie; for heavier outerwear, see our men's jackets. Looking for short-sleeve styles? Shop camp collar shirts.

FAQs

What is a shirt jacket?
A shirt jacket (also called a shacket or overshirt) is a button-up shirt made from heavier fabric such as denim, flannel or jacquard. It is lighter than a coat but warmer than a regular shirt, so it can be worn on its own or as an outer layer.

Is this the same as Brooklyn Cloth's shacket collection?
Yes. Brooklyn Cloth renamed its men's shacket collection to Men's Shirts. The styles are the same shirt-jacket hybrids, now grouped under shirts.

What is the difference between a shirt and a shirt jacket?
A regular shirt uses lightweight fabric and is usually worn as a base layer. A shirt jacket uses thicker fabric, often has chest pockets and a roomier cut, and is meant to be worn open over other layers.

When should you wear a men's shirt jacket?
Shirt jackets work best in cool, transitional weather, typically fall and early spring, or summer evenings. Layer a tee underneath in mild temperatures and a hoodie or sweater when it is colder.

How should a men's shirt jacket fit?
It should feel relaxed through the shoulders and chest with enough room to layer a tee or hoodie underneath. Sleeves should end around the wrist bone. If you plan to wear it over hoodies, consider sizing up.

How do you style a men's shirt jacket?
Wear it open over a graphic tee with jeans or joggers and sneakers for a casual look, or button it up over a white tee with cargo pants. Patterned jacquard or flannel styles work as a statement piece with plain basics.

How do you wash a shirt jacket?
Follow the care label on each item. In general, wash in cold water, turn it inside out to protect color, and tumble dry low or hang dry to limit shrinking.
