PAIRS WELL WITH
Men's Japanese-Style Chore Coat, in detail
Japanese chore coats like this one are cut in cotton canvas with a corduroy collar, a button front, a flap chest pocket and two open pockets at the hip. The canvas is washed before cutting. It starts soft and holds its shape at the cuff and hem. The loose cut and plain fabric give it a Japanese-style read, close to the workwear lines of the noragi.
Some call it a canvas chore coat, some a canvas chore jacket. It is the same work layer.
The chore jacket is the original French workwear piece, a plain cotton jacket with deep pockets that farmers and factory workers wore every day for a century, and the heavyweight garment-dyed canvas here gives it that same honest character, with a corduroy collar as the only detail that is not plain. Honest. Heavy.
Fit and sizing
Relaxed, straight hem, long sleeve. Sizes XS and S. The supplier gives a recommended size chart only.
Fabric and care
Heavyweight, densely woven cotton canvas, garment-dyed, with a crinkled, slightly frayed finish. Machine wash cold with like colours. No bleach. Hang to dry or tumble dry low. Warm iron if needed.
How to wear it
Over a heavy tee with work pants and boots. Over a hoodie in autumn. Khaki goes with everything.
Good to know
Garment-dyed canvas fades unevenly with wear, a little at the elbows, a little at the pocket edges. Over time it becomes yours.
The corduroy collar is the only soft touch on a hard-wearing jacket. It sits well against the neck and contrasts with the canvas.
Pairs well with the heavy sweatpants and the long sleeve graphic t-shirt. Also in the same family: the stand collar blouson jacket.
More work jackets sit in outerwear and jackets. Our workwear jacket guide explains the chore jacket's history.
