Shepherd Jacket Black White

Shepherd Jacket Black White

Ref:VEDD6480PE25

Single breasted jacket 2 buttons, traditional construction, structured shoulders, classic breast pocket, flap side pockets, 2 side vents on back, half-lined inner lining.

Born in the Scottish Highlands, Shepherd’s Check — literally “the shepherd’s check” — has its roots in the rustic tweeds once worn by herdsmen. Despite its humble origins, this two-tone pattern of small, regular checks quickly established itself as a true style signature.

Embraced by British tailoring tradition, it earned its place in town through weekend sports jackets. In the 1950s and 1960s, Shepherd’s Check crossed the Atlantic and became part of the Ivy League aesthetic. American students, always in search of a codified yet relaxed style, made it one of their favourite patterns alongside Donegal tweed, madras and seersucker.

On East Coast campuses, the Shepherd’s Check jacket became an emblem of collegiate dress: sober enough to pair with an Oxford shirt and knitted tie, yet lively enough to stand apart from plain jackets. This balance between British elegance and American nonchalance explains the enduring success of this iconic pattern.
