Chore jackets originated in 19th-century France as garments to wear while knocking out day-to-day work (hence the name). We haven’t strayed too far from the original — simple shape, clean patch pockets at the front, an easy fit through the body — but we've taken it up a notch with corozo buttons and elevated fabric. This one's made of an Italian twill created using the fil-coupé technique where the binding threads are cut off at the very end, leaving behind a textured edge to the dots. The general effect is a tad playful, without being weird... an excellent combination in our book.
