Custom Shackets and Elevated Layering for Men
The perfect bridge between casual and formal. My shackets are crafted for the man who values sharp tailoring without the stiffness of a traditional blazer.
This olive green shacket is the perfect piece for a chill dinner or casual outing. I designed it to be an effortless layer that instantly elevates any look with its rich color and texture.
I believe you can never go wrong with a white denim-on-denim look. This double-breasted shacket offers a structured, sophisticated take on a classic casual style.
Monochrome, but never boring. This grey shacket with contrasting pocket details adds a playful edge to an understated look, making it perfect for the airport, an after-party, or dinner.
Move beyond the basics with elevated hues for the season. This look pairs a deep maroon shacket with muted pink trousers, showcasing a confident use of color in contemporary menswear.
Your winter wardrobe just leveled up. This video shows how my relaxed yet refined flannel shackets provide sharp tailoring and sophisticated layering for the colder months.
For laid-back layers, the shacket is the answer. This light grey version in a soft, suede-like fabric steps in when a blazer feels too much, offering relaxed yet luxe style.
This ensemble, featuring a neutral-toned shacket with contrasting leather pocket details, is designed to capture attention the moment you enter a room with its unique, fashion-forward look.
About this collection
A shacket shouldn't just be an extra layer; it should define your silhouette. In my studio, I don't use standard sizing—we look at your specific shoulder width and chest break to ensure the piece sits perfectly, whether you're wearing it open over a t-shirt or buttoned up for a dinner.
Construction Meets Comfort
When I design a shacket, the goal is to remove the heaviness of a suit jacket while keeping the structure. I focus on soft-shouldered construction—no heavy padding—which allows the fabric to drape naturally against your frame. Whether we are using wide-wale corduroy for a winter look or a crisp, structured linen for the Mumbai heat, the internal engineering remains consistent: stiffened collars that stay upright and hidden plackets for a minimalist finish.
Why Custom Matters
Off-the-rack outerwear often fails at the sleeve or the torso. My process starts with your measurements. We account for how you intend to wear the piece. Do you want it to sit slim, or are you planning to layer it over a knit sweater? We adjust the armholes and the torso taper accordingly, ensuring you don't get that 'boxy' look common in mass-produced jackets.
The Details That Define the Look
It is the small choices that change the final garment. We spend time selecting the hardware—gunmetal zippers, matte resin buttons, or horn toggles—to match the fabric's character. If you're looking for utility, we can add functional patch pockets with side entry, or if you prefer a cleaner aesthetic, we keep it simple with hidden closures.
