Fall weather is quickly approaching, which means you need to consider 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 a bit too heavy on days with rapidly changing temperatures. That’s why a shirt jacket is the best choice for transitioning from summer to fall, and right now, one of Huckberry’s best is on sale for up to $80 and looks great.
Wellen’s Garment Dyed Chore Coat is on sale for as low as $118—up to 40% off its regular price of $198. It’s one of the most underrated items on Huckberry, and it’s quietly racked up a few rave reviews about its “perfect” fit and material. It’s available in three colors—off-white, green, and blue—and sizes small through 2XL, though some are already selling out. If the size you need isn’t available, Taylor Stitch’s Ojai Chore Coat is a more than affordable alternative, and it comes in four colors.

Wellen may have called it a chore jacket, but its soft, stretchy fabric makes it feel and wears more like a shirt jacket. Like a chore jacket, 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 internal waist pocket for storing all your daily essentials. But like most shirt jackets, it’s also extremely flexible thanks to its 100% organic cotton construction. The texture in the fabric makes this top pop, while the Corozo nut buttons make it look much more expensive than it is.
Those who wore this shirt jacket loved the look it gave them. “I love the look and fit of this jacket,” one shopper said. “Some work jackets look sloppy, but this one has a style all its own. It’s great with chinos and jeans for casual outings or even more formal occasions.” Another shopper agreed, saying it’s “a great casual look without looking boxy.”

Others say it's one of the most comfortable and versatile pieces they've ever owned. “I absolutely love this work jacket; it's comfortable and stylish,” said one shopper. “I wore it on an international flight recently and all the pockets were useful and versatile. It even has a handy pocket inside to store my passport and wallet and keep them away from pickpockets.”
A great shirt jacket (or work jacket) is a fall essential that can easily be worn every day, and this one from Wellen is one of our favorites so far. Don't forget to grab one for yourself, because sizes are already sold out and they won't be around for much longer at this price.
