Fall weather is swiftly approaching, which means it's time to take stock of the warmer layers in your closet. Lighter options like denim jackets, raincoats, and even puffer jackets are shoulder season favorites, but they can still be too heavy on days with rapidly fluctuating temperatures. That's why a shirt jacket is the best choice for the summer-to-fall transition, and right now, one of Huckberry's best is up to $80 off—and it looks fantastic.
Wellen's Garment Dyed Chore Coat is on sale for as low as $118—up to 40% off the normal $198 price. This is one of the most underrated products at Huckberry, having quietly accrued a handful of reviews that rave about its "perfect" fit and material. It's available in three colors—off-white, green, and blue—and it comes in sizes small to 2XL, though some have already started to sell out. If the size you need isn't available, Taylor Stitch's Ojai Chore Coat is a more-than-suitable alternative, and it's available in four colors.
Wellen might have called this a chore coat, but due to its soft and pliable fabric, it wears and feels more like a shirt jacket. Like a chore coat, it's loaded with pockets: Two large hand pockets at the waist, a buttoned chest pocket, a patch pocket on the opposite side, and even an interior waist pocket for storing all the day's essentials. But like many shirt jackets, it's extremely pliable thanks to its 100% organic cotton construction. Texturization within the fabric makes this top pop while Corozo nut buttons make it look far more expensive than it is.
Those who have worn this shirt jacket have been obsessed with the way it makes them look. "Just love the look and fit of this jacket," a shopper said. "Some chore jackets just look sloppy, but this one has some style to it. Great with chinos and jeans when worn to casual outings and even for more formal venues." Another shopper agreed, noting the "perfect relaxed look without it looking boxy."
Others say it's one of the most comfortable and versatile pieces they own. "I absolutely love this chore coat—it's comfortable and stylish," a shopper said. "I recently wore it on an international flight and all of its pockets were convenient and versatile. It even has a pocket inside which was convenient for keeping my passport and wallet in there and away from pickpockets."
A great shirt jacket (or chore coat) is a must-have for fall that can easily be worn every day, and this one from Wellen is easily one of our favorites so far. Make sure to grab one for yourself soon, because sizes are already selling out and they won't be around much longer at this price.
