Highland Padded Check Shacket
How to spot the original Highland
Fine tonal quilting stitches run through the brown, olive and cream check, holding light padding inside, so it looks like a flannel shirt but feels far warmer.
A pointed shirt collar, a front closed with bronze-tone studs and a single patch pocket on the left chest, so you can wear it done up like a shirt or open like a jacket.
Dropped shoulders and a curved shirt-tail hem give the oversized one-size shape, covering the hips and the top of the thighs, with a plain olive lining inside.
The check
A padded check shacket in warm brown
A soft check of brown, olive and cream: quiet from a distance and textured up close.
Light padding quilted inside makes it far warmer than a flannel shirt, with fine tonal stitching.
A proper shirt collar and a snap front with bronze-tone studs let you wear it done up or open over a top. It feels like a cosy shirt.
A padded shacket is one of the most useful pieces you can own for British weather: warmer than a shirt, lighter than a coat, and quick to throw on for the school run, a dog walk or a trip into town. The soft check looks smart enough for a pub lunch and relaxed enough for a weekend in the countryside.
The fit
Oversized, one size
The chest measures 124 cm all the way round and the length is 77 cm, covering the hips and the top of the thighs.
It fits roughly UK 8 to 16: slouchy on a smaller frame, closer but still comfortable on a larger one.
The light fabric dries quickly and does not crease like wool. It suits almost everyone.
The oversized shape leaves plenty of room for a jumper underneath on colder days, and the length covers the hips so you stay warm when you sit down. The light padding traps warmth without making you feel bulky, so you can drive, carry shopping and move freely in it all day. The collar can be turned up against a chilly wind, and the button front lets you wear it fully closed or open as the day warms up. It is a jacket you will reach for again and again from the first cool mornings to the last mild days of the season.
How to wear it
With jeans, a beanie and trainers
Wear it with a black top, straight jeans and trainers, or over a roll neck on colder days.
It is equally at home on a country walk, at a pub lunch or on a trip to the shops.
Add it to your basket above — free UK delivery. It is the easy layer you will keep in the car for chilly evenings.
Try it with a cream roll neck and dark jeans for an easy autumn look, or with a hoodie and joggers for something more relaxed. It also works well open over a simple dress with tights and ankle boots, which makes it one of the most versatile jackets in your wardrobe.

A padded check shacket is half shirt, half jacket, made for the in-between days when a coat feels too much and a jumper not quite enough. You will reach for it from early autumn to late spring.
Warm brown check, one generous size for roughly UK 8 to 16. It is one of the hardest-working pieces in a British wardrobe.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in this jacket?
It comes in one size. The chart on this page gives its chest, length, shoulder and sleeve. Measure a similar jacket you own, laid flat, and compare it with the chart; free UK delivery and 30 days to return give you time to check the fit at home.
How do I wash this jacket?
Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth. For a full clean, a gentle 30°C wash in a laundry bag or a dry cleaner — check the label inside. Hang on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape; brush lightly after wear.
How warm is this puffer jacket?
The quilted padding traps warm air around your body. It suits cold, dry days and frosty mornings; when the temperature drops close to freezing, wear a knit jumper underneath.
Is this puffer jacket waterproof?
A padded jacket is built for warmth rather than for heavy rain. The shell copes with a short shower, but steady rain can work through the stitch lines. On a wet, mild day, a hooded rain jacket over a knit is the better choice.
How do I make a puffer jacket puffy again after washing?
Let it dry fully on a hanger, then shake it out and pat each quilted panel by hand to spread the filling evenly. Repeat a few times while it dries. Stored loosely on a hanger rather than squashed in a bag, a puffer keeps its loft.
