Rooted in nearly two centuries of workwear tradition, the chore jacket carries a sense of durability and purpose that has stood the test of time. This version builds on that legacy, reinterpreting a classic silhouette with carefully considered materials and construction.
Based on the Five-Pocket Chore Jacket, this piece is crafted from robust 12.6oz cotton duck canvas. Known for its tightly woven structure, cotton duck uses two yarns in the warp and one in the weft, creating a smooth and durable surface that resists tearing. The name originates from the Dutch word “doek,” historically associated with hard-wearing textiles used for sails, tents and traditional workwear.
The jacket is cut in a generous, slightly boxy fit, echoing the proportions of original chore coats worn at the turn of the century. This relaxed shape allows for comfortable layering while maintaining an authentic workwear character.
Practicality is central to the design. Multiple pockets, including three outer pockets with an additional patch ticket pocket and one inner pocket, provide everyday functionality. Copper rivet buttons reinforce the construction and add a subtle utilitarian detail.
Over time, the cotton duck canvas will develop a natural patina, making each jacket unique to its wearer. A dependable piece designed to age beautifully and serve as a long-lasting addition to any wardrobe.
