THE WOVEN EQUIVALENT OF AN OCEANGOING TUGBOAT!
Boatyard Shirt Jack - 25th Anniversary Edition
DETAILS
HERITAGE BUILT INTO EVERY STITCH. The Boatyard Shirt Jack – 25th Anniversary Edition by Atlantic Rancher revives a classic design first produced in 1995. Combining rugged functionality with clean lines, this limited release honors the original piece built for working men on the water.
TOUGH ENOUGH FOR THE YARD, SHARP ENOUGH FOR TOWN. Made with heavyweight cotton canvas, this shirt jack resists wear, blocks the wind, and provides dependable warmth. Reinforced seams and sturdy buttons ensure it stands up to years of hard use.
COMFORT THAT MOVES WITH YOU. The brushed cotton interior delivers softness against the skin, while the cut allows full range of motion. It works as a stand-alone layer or over a sweater when the weather demands it.
TIMELESS STYLE, LIMITED PRODUCTION. Designed to look sharp with denim or chinos, the Boatyard Shirt Jack keeps its shape and never feels out of place. Each piece in this anniversary edition carries a unique serial number.
A PIECE OF ATLANTIC RANCHER HISTORY. First commissioned for men working the harsh New England coastline, this shirt jack remains true to its roots, offering practical design with enduring craftsmanship.

This shirt is the sistership to our Boatyard Pant and Boatyard Jacket…both birthed at the Marblehead Boatyard, 89 Front Street, circa 1995, and inspired by the wily cast of characters we fondly recall as the Boatyard Boys: Dinzi, Moose, Lars, Tobi, and a few others we can’t mention.
The Boatyard Shirt Story
This shirt is the sistership to our Boatyard Pant and Boatyard Jacket…both birthed at the Marblehead Boatyard, 89 Front Street, circa 1995, and inspired by the wily cast of characters we fondly recall as the Boatyard Boys: Lars, Dinzi, Jake, and a few others we can’t mention.
The backstory on this build is not one I admit often, as it involves an uprising of sorts staged by the Boatyard Boys telling me our shirts were now being made for and worn by the fancy lads at the Eastern Yacht Club and no longer fit for serious yard duty. “Wouldn’t be caught drowned in one of ‘em they told me." These rumblings soaked for a few weeks and after many after-work sessions around the community beer bucket, I finally got it out of them: “those nifty plaids shirts you’re passing off as work shirts ain’t work shirts.”
Alrighty then Boys, here you are…a tugboat of a work shirt you’ll die working in because it’s not one you’re going to outlive.
And what a bruiser of a shirt it is. It wouldn’t be so if not for the 100% cotton, 10oz heavy twill base fabric…you just will not wear through it. This build has doubled-up shoulder coverings, wrist-to-elbow wear patches, a sturdy built-up collar, extra tall chest pockets with snap closures and new, only available on this shirt, our signature dog-house button closure configuration. And to honor the Boatyard Boys unique sense of fashion, the shirts are garment dyed in their favorite colors: khaki, olive, burgundy and navy.
The Original Boatyard Shirt, one of our finest moments, is being reintroduced now as the 25th Anniversary Edition, even though we’re a little late due to all the s**t going on in the world. Each shirt carries the25th Anniversary Edition label and is marked with its unique serial number identifier.
