About this pattern

A delightful hybrid of both shirt and jacket, the humble shacket has swiftly become everyone’s favourite ‘throw-on and go’ outwear option. It’s packed with styling potential for both men and women, which is one of the reasons Posner and Posner decided to make this a unisex pattern. Simply switch up your plaid palette when making each design – unless you fancy going matchy-matchy, of course!
