I own several Pendleton shirt/ jackets; mine are identical to shackets. One is a reissue of a 1955 Gold miners womens jacket (so hardly a new concept).

Shacket is a well-used word that was not invented by QVC.  Look at any other retail fashion site.

 

 
 
 

I've cut the photos for brevity, but these are attractive examples of the concept!

I thought a shacket was a short sleeved jacket! Guess you learn something new everyday.

How funny.  When I searched the dictionary for "shacket", I came up with this:

 

noun Chiefly Rhode Island.
a yellowjacket or hornet.
 
Nothing about shirt+jacket.  I'd never heard this term until QVC.

Hey hans, take off that sexy shacket and come on over here baby.

OP here! i just posted, because i find some overused words annoying. It was just suppose to be a fun comment.  Sorry, if i rocked on your tail. again, in jest.

 

If i had to watch religious shows or news shows, i would curl up, in a fetal position and pull my shacket, over my head. Again, written in jest.Woman Very Happy
