Perhaps no TV show in recent memory has impacted the nation’s taste quite like Yellowstone. From jackets to skillets to whiskey, the Montana-set series has consistently generated buzz with the Western-inspired selections made by the Dutton clan and co.

Of course, it’s not the characters (or even the actors portraying them) who are making these choices. They come from the keen eye of veteran costume designer Johnetta Boone.

This new shacket interpretation from the California-based brand with the Secratariat-inspired name adds a technical wrinkle: It’s made of 14-ounce Scottish waxed cotton canvas.

On a related note, as the smash hit enters the second half of its fifth and final season, you need not go racing to the style-spotting blogs to see what the ranchers are wearing this year.

Because today marks the launch of Ariat x Yellowstone by Johnetta Boone, a new collection of shirts, jackets, jeans and more curated by the legend herself.

While the line boasts a lot of compelling apparel and footwear, one piece in particular stands out as the perfect new wardrobe addition for fall: The Yellowstone Herder Waxed Shirt Jacket.

Shacket sensation

Over the past few years, we’ve come to appreciate the shirt jacket (aka shacket) more and more, not only for its styling but for its layer-accommodating versatility.

When it’s just a bit chilly out, you can throw one over henley and be good to go. When temps begin to dip, you can add a sweater, a denim shirt and/or a flannel underneath to weather the cold.

Moving from the general to the specific, this new shacket interpretation from the California-based brand with the Secratariat-inspired name adds a technical wrinkle: It’s made of 14-ounce Scottish waxed cotton canvas. 

Regular GP readers know that this material boasts centuries of history — dating back to when sailors discovered rubbing linseed into sailcloth made it more water-repellant, and later started cutting jackets out of the stuff.

The fabric gives this shacket some inclement-weather-fighting bona fides to match its style, which is augmented by an authentic western yoke detail, decorative stitching on the chest pockets and antique pewter logo snaps. 

So snap this item — or one of the many other compelling pieces from the new collection — up and you’ll be all set to tune in to the Paramount Network for the beginning of the final chapter next Sunday night.
