prettygoodwordshacket (SHAK-it) - n., a thick-fabric garment in the style of a button-down shirt, usually worn over other shirts.
This covers both a flannel shirt worn as an unbuttoned outer layer and a safari/bush jacket. While most people assume this is a recent blend of sh(irt) + (j)acket, it dates to the late 1880s and could equally likely be an alteration of the initial consonant of jacket.
