Jackson buts a new shirt. The shirt is 25% off of the original price. Jackson pays a total of 11.34 for the shirt which includes 8% of sale price. What was the original price in dollars for the shirts.

Let's say the original price of the shirt was x dollars.

Since the shirt is 25% off, the sale price of the shirt is (100% - 25%) * x = 0.75x dollars.
We also know that 8% of the sale price is included in the total amount paid, so the sale price is (100% - 8%) * 11.34 = 0.92 * 11.34 = 10.44 dollars.
From the above equation, we have 0.75x = 10.44 dollars.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.75, we get x = 10.44 / 0.75 = 13.92 dollars.
Therefore, the original price of the shirt was $13.92. Answer: \boxed{13.92\text{ dollars}}.
