Whether you’re looking for traditional workwear or something altogether more modern, there’s a shirt jacket out there with your name on it, so stop wasting time over the outerwear-shirt decision and opt for a piece that does it all.

Heron Preston Twill Overshirt
Heron Preston opts for a hard-wearing cotton canvas build for this pared-back shirt jacket. The heavy cotton construction takes on a military style, making way for the signature flashes of orange labels.
SMR DAYS Herringbone-Striped Shirt Jacket
Cotton canvas woven with herringbone stripes gives this shirt jacket from SMR DAYS a visually intriguing texture despite a clean, all-white palette. Wooden buttons line the placket finished with embossed logo monograms.
NULABEL Toptstitched Shirt Jacket
Formerly PORTVEL, NULABEL offers up a sharp take on workwear with this topstitched shirt jacket. The black cotton build is highlighted by contrasting white topstitching throughout the tailored silhouette.

Nudie Jeans Colin Utility Over Shirt
Nudie Jeans blends denim expertise with a love for workwear in the Colin Utility Jacket. Sitting somewhere between a denim jacket and a chore jacket, it's a pared-back styling companion. Two large pockets to the chest punctuate the immaculate overall silhouette.
Nicholas Daley Yussef Shirt Jacket
Nicholas Daley makes use of an eye-catching red pinstriped linen for this characterful shirt jacket. The hard-wearing nature of linen is counteracted by careful, elegant details in the form of pinstripes and a slightly oversized collar akin to styles of the '70s.

British label YMC is no stranger to the world of workwear, and the Cubist Striped Flecked Shirt Jacket shows that over the years, YMC has learned a thing or two about it. A Japanese wool-blend construction is detailed with preppy stripes that offer visual structure when layering.
