Chore coats

[pepper davies]

Just ordered a Pointer chore coat. I'm really into this look.

This Pointer Chore Coat?

If so, how's the fit?

I also posted this on the vintage thread, but if you're into chore jackets...

To Marineabilly, I ordered this chore coat. I can still post fit pictures if desired.

I also just received a K&TH chore coat. Here are some detail pictures. I can also post fit pictures of this one too.

All of the pictures are unedited, but the darker ones show true color.

Yoox has the LVC 1920s sack coat for a good price. It's the raw version, too bad it's got the stupid prison numbers painted on.

That K&TH is prety sweet.

K&TH also came out with some nice wabash chore coats and they are a lot cheeper (more inexpensive rather) than the Freewheeler's versions, although, I assume the freewheelers have a little bit nicer fabric. I will have to wait to see for myself though.

^ That K&TH looks great, and Tigerprawn, I always admired your Pointers!

I picked this up a few months ago (deeply discounted at under $90 ), but it's been so sweltering I hadn't worn it until today.

Nifty little coat, with nice details: fully lined, inner pockets, split ring button fasteners, etc. Made by Sunny Sports.

Awesome jacket, riff. Proxy from JP?

^ Thanks zissou! Yup, was the only way. But they were so discounted, it was worth it!

interesting looking. it's very taper on the sides and very short too.

Why does he have a bandana tied to his belt?

who would of thought chore jackets would make comeback....

Same jacket is being made by Lucky Brand. They call it the Chore Denim Jacket. I picked one up last night and love it. It's something I'll wear all the time. It was marked retail $ 129.00 but rang up at $ 89.50 which is a great price. The fit is fantastic but a little overly distressed IMO. I wish manufacturers would stop washing the crap out of everything.

It's a really great piece with very nice details. The pix are so dorky. I guess you have to expect this from a mass merchandised brand. If you click around they have a pretty cool orange/red chambray shirt that's pretty cool as well.

Chore jackets are the perfect substitute for the typical jean jacket and they don't look like denim suits which is great. I can't wear denim jackets with jeans but I can wear a chore jacket/coat w/ no problems.

I got a deadstock hickory stripe Pointer chore of ebay last week. The old fabric is different than what they're using now.

Here's a comparison of the new fabric and the old fabric pointer now uses. The older fabric has more indigo.

Here's a comparison of the new fabric above the old fabric pointer now uses

What? The old fabric is where? I am guessing the dead stock is on top. Are the cuts the same? Lets see a fit pic in both of them.

Just saw this a minute ago.

I was just saying that The Stronghold never makes anything new. Shame on me.

[smittybat]

Sorry about that. The older fabric is the bluer version. The cut seems to be the same.

I love that stronghold jacket. If only it were cheaper.

Anyone familiar with Porter Japan?

The guy I bough this from claimed it belonged to Eric Clapton and he was clearing out some stuff for him.

Superbly made in Japan, heavy cotton, triple stitching etc.

Its for sale btw.

thrifted a Ben Davis chore coat, nothing special, but will post pics as soon as i can.

[jstavrin]

Any thoughts on this? I may get it.

[Paul T]

Can't quite see the fabric; indigo cotton drill?

[jstavrin]

I'm fairly certain it's denim.

[jstavrin]

But it almost looks like it's lined with something.

Edit: Looks like the patch says "Star Denim."

[klue]

So then I reproed my big smith Hartford denim style

Actually, I think you're right.

Dang, now even modern hickory stripe looks wrong to me. I can't unsee it. That extra blue is where it's at.

That Porter appears to be well put together, but just trying to hit too many hot-button details.

Keep 'm coming Klue.
