I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: When a menswear company branches out beyond its typical focus, yet manages to dream up staple pieces that pair expertly with its, well, general expertise, it’s a sight to behold. Hyperbole aside, that means that I’ve kept a close eye over the years on Mott and Bow, makers of your favorite jeans.
And now, you can also consider them makers of luxurious cashmere sweaters, perfectly fitting cotton tees and of course, one of the best men’s shirt jackets as seen above. Yes, premium denim in a range of fits and washes is the main focus at Mott and Bow, but a series of rugged and subtly stylish overshirts have now joined the decade-plus-old lineup at the NYC denim brand — and it’s for the better, at least in my experience.

A hearty, thick blended wool fabrication sets the Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket from the pack in each of its three versatile colors (including my personal favorite, a rich Olive number). The Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket also features two notched-flap patch chest pockets for your everyday carry essentials, while satin binding at each of the seams gives this men’s shirt jacket a rather refined finish.

The Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket is also built with double back yokes, the better for ease of movement as you layer your new favorite shirt jacket over a thermal shirt, your favorite henley or even a Mott and Bow long-sleeve T-shirt on casual days.
And at its core, the pleasingly rugged Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket should style up in expert fashion with dark blue, black, grey or tan Mott and Bow jeans. In fact, in my experience, any shade and fit of Mott and Bow men’s denim should work well for casually rugged style alongside the new Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket.
It’s a new product offering from one of the best denim brands out there, and it just makes perfect sense in my book — how about you? If you end up taking the plunge with one of these shirt jackets, let me know in the comments or on Instagram, my friends.
