Burly shoulder-season shirt jacket

Every camper needs a trusty shacket on hand for cosy nights by the campfire. This Carrick Bend shirt jacket comes courtesy of Seattle-based experts in easy-going outdoorwear, KAVU. They reckon that what makes it a shacket rather than a common-or-garden overshirt is the pair of jersey-lined hand pockets to keep your mitts cosy on cold evenings. The Carrick Bend features a relaxed fit for layering over your jumper, with a generous centre-back box pleat for ease of movement. The long sleeves are button adjustable and cut loose for rolling, and the whole thing is constructed in a heavy 10.5oz cotton yarn dye twill weave

• Now here’s an origin story for you. Back in the early nineties, fishing boat skipper Barry Barr was fed up with wearing cheap trucker caps that got snatched off his head in storms, never to be seen again. He decided to make a super-durable cap that wouldn’t blow off whatever the weather, and he did it by stitching the webbing material from a Teva sandal all the way around the crown. Turned out his ‘Strapcap’ was a hit, and KAVU was born.

  From humble beginnings flogging Strapcaps out of the boot of his car in Seattle, Barry’s since expanded to produce a whole array of durable outdoor kit with a laid-back, van-lifer vibe. The KAVU range takes in everything from sling bags to swim shorts, and while they’re serious about producing great gear that’s made to last, they’re also not afraid to have a laugh. Their prints are bold, playful, and in some cases so loud that they’ll take some considerable chutzpah to carry off – but that’s what makes them so much fun.

This shirt is thick, almost jacket like but has incredible fit.
