Oh Boy! Each season, I try to bring something new to the site for you guys. It isn't always easy, you know it is just me here!  But I found a sumptuous fabric with the perfect amount of heft to it. I knew I had to stop what I was doing and figure out what to do with it..... You guys almost got a tote bag. Almost got a dopp kit.... Almost got a wallet....

But around the same time, I was going for a hike in the redwoods near my house and wishing that I had something 'easier' to throw on over my outfit.... it wasn't a coat or jacket that I was looking for. I wanted an extra layer because it gets chilly under those giant trees, but didn't want the extra weight of a jacket. 

The fresh air & serenity of the woods must have cleared my head because inspiration struck me hard that day; and my shirt jacket was soon born.

I got down to Texas & immediately started working with the masters on the jacket. First we opened up the specifications of my shirts, keeping the tailored silhouette but with a little more room to allow for layering. Then the collar and collar stand were bulked up to become stronger and more protective against the elements. I actually love popping the collar up when it is windy and showing off the strike of blue denim we placed underneath (check out Brian in the pictures). 

Then it was all about the pockets & I wanted as many as I could get. There are two deep chest pockets covered by a button front flap for security. And then two deep, angled pockets in front that add both style & function.

Made in USA

The fit is pretty true to size and if you should follow whatever size you wear in my shirts to choose your size for the shirt jacket.
