Hooded shirt jacket – soft checked flannel for spring and fall

Shacket with a hood that falls between a sweater and a jacket

A checked shirt with long sleeves and a soft hood attached to the turn-down collar. It fastens with buttons all the way down the front, has two chest pockets, and cuffs that fasten at the wrists. Warm enough for spring and fall without becoming a jacket.

Why choose this hooded shacket?

Flannel is easy to wear, and a hood is something you grab without thinking - and usually you want both. This model keeps the check pattern and button fastening, then adds a hood for the stretch from the car to the door. It stays flat over a T-shirt and under a jacket.

• Hood that lies flat: it falls neatly over the collar when you are not using it and goes up as soon as the wind picks up.
• Button fastening all the way down the front: wear it open over a shirt in April, or fasten it right up to the top in October.
• Two easily accessible pockets: keys, your phone, or a folded list stay where you put them.
• Cuffs you can fasten: button cuffs, so you can roll them up or fasten them - either works.
• Fabric that keeps its shape: softly brushed, breathable, and back in its original shape after washing.

One shirt for the trip to school, the hardware store, and the bank afterward.

The fabric is machine washable and comes out with so few wrinkles that ironing is optional. Hang it on a hook instead of folding it, and the hood will keep its shape. Over a T-shirt, you have a light layer; under a jacket, an extra one.
