This collection blends functionality and form in perfect harmony, offering lightweight layering pieces crafted with precision, breathability, and unmistakable style.

Whether you're exploring a city street, packing for a summer getaway, or dressing for transitional weather, our safari-inspired garments offer the ideal blend of utility, comfort, and sartorial flair.

The Legacy of the Safari Jacket

Originally designed for British officers and explorers navigating the heat and terrain of East Africa and India, the safari jacket has evolved into a casual menswear staple with global appeal. With its military roots, functional details, and rugged elegance, the safari jacket has earned its place in modern wardrobes—far from the savanna and deep into everyday city style.

At Bespoke Bon, we pay tribute to this storied silhouette by keeping its iconic design elements intact—pleated chest pockets, waist tie-belts, shoulder epaulets, and multiple utility compartments—while refining the fit and updating the fabrication for year-round versatility.

Artisanal Craftsmanship Meets Everyday Wear

Our safari jackets, shackets, and utility vests are unlined for comfort, meticulously stitched, and tailored with breathable natural fabrics. The result is casual outerwear that wears well across seasons, balances tradition with minimalism, and easily transitions from day to night.

Choose from:

• 100% Linen – Perfect for summer, these jackets and overshirts offer breathability and texture without bulk.

• Wool Blends & Cashmere – Ideal for cooler months, offering warmth and structure while maintaining lightweight wearability.

• Cotton Twill & Blends – For those seeking year-round function with a rugged edge.

What Makes Our Safari Jackets Unique?

Our safari jackets are not off-the-rack items—they’re crafted on order, just for you. Here's what sets them apart:

✔ Tailored Fit, Not Boxy

We’ve refined the traditionally loose fit of safari jackets into a modern, tapered silhouette that flatters the body without restricting movement.

✔ Seven Practical Pockets

These jackets feature seven functional pockets—four on the exterior (including pleated chest pockets and flap closures), two on the inside, and a hidden utility pocket. Ideal for carrying your phone, wallet, passport, or notebook—no bag needed.

✔ Tie-Belt Waist for Versatility

Adjustable tie-belts offer an elegant way to define your shape and customize your fit. Tie it loose for relaxed days, or cinch it for a more structured look.

✔ Unlined Construction for Breathability

Designed for warmer climates and transitional weather, the unlined structure makes our safari jackets ideal for layering over shirts, polos, or even light knits.

The Shacket – The New Smart Casual Essential

Part shirt, part jacket—the shacket is one of the most versatile garments in menswear today. Lighter than a jacket but heavier than a shirt, our shackets are perfect for breezy evenings, travel layering, or elevating a casual outfit.

Our shackets feature minimalist patch pockets, button or snap fronts, and soft-structured shoulders. Wear it open over a tee or linen shirt, or buttoned up with trousers for a polished casual ensemble. Choose from soft cotton-linen blends for tropical weather or brushed wool blends for the cooler months.

Utility Vests – Form and Function

Our utility vests are built with adventure in mind—but tailored for city life. With multiple compartments, breathable linings, and lightweight materials, they’re the ideal grab-and-go layer when you want to keep your essentials close without sacrificing style.

Pair your vest over a linen kurta, a dress shirt, or even with a turtleneck in the winter—it’s an effortless statement piece that communicates confidence, creativity, and practicality.

Styling Your Safari Jacket

The beauty of the safari jacket lies in its styling versatility. Here’s how to get the most out of yours:

🔸 Casual Smart Look

Pair a linen safari jacket with our custom drawstring trousers and a lightweight linen shirt. Add loafers or espadrilles for a look that’s perfect for weekend brunches, travel, or semi-formal outdoor events.

🔸 Elevated Casual

Throw on a neutral-toned shacket over a crisp white shirt, tailored chinos, and desert boots. It’s the perfect in-between look—polished but relaxed.

🔸 Summer Utility

Style your safari vest with our Sartocinni shorts, a breathable T-shirt, and low-top sneakers for a look that balances functionality and laid-back charm.

🔸 Winter Sophistication

Layer a wool or cashmere safari jacket over a fine-knit turtleneck and wool trousers. Finish with leather Chelsea boots and a silk scarf for a refined cold-weather ensemble.
