Description
Red wool, big pearly buttons and elbow patches: this Pendleton shirt jacket brings a little schoolgirl mischief to practical sportswear. The open collar sits neatly over a knit, while the two generous patch pockets give the front its easy, useful shape. Turn it around and the darker red elbow patches and soft gathers beneath the back yoke become part of the appeal.
Pendleton’s wool shirts helped establish its reputation long before “shacket” became a wardrobe category. The company introduced its first women’s collection in 1949, including the enduring ’49er jacket, a design that brought shirt-like ease to women’s outerwear. Pendleton’s own history traces that move into women’s sportswear and the lasting popularity of the loose jacket.
This red version has a smoother, finer-looking surface than a chunky wool coat. The contrast comes from the slightly darker, matte elbow patches and the pale buttons running down the front and fastening the cuffs. There’s enough visual interest here to carry a very simple outfit.
Fit & styling
Listed size M. Wear it as a light outer layer over a fine knit, or button it up with high-waisted trousers. The blue layer in the photos is a lovely foil for the red; chocolate corduroy, faded denim or a sharp little checked skirt would work just as well. Add loafers and ribbed socks for a playful preppy finish, or tall boots when you want a longer line.
Measurements are available as needed to confirm the fit. Email us with sizing or layering questions before ordering and we’ll help you work out the proportions.
Listing is for the Pendleton jacket only. The blue layer and other styling pieces are not included.
