This is one version before my final sample of the upcoming to be released Chore Coat. The shell is Cone Mills White Oak Plant experimental double Pima (warp and weft) gold ticking selvage sanforized denim. The long Pima fibers make the indigo extra saturated which will create unique fading and an overall stronger denim weave.
The lining is a wool tweed with multi fleck flocking. Corduroy collar cut from a vintage 1970’s Levis cowboy blazer.
Some features include front hand pockets incorporated into vertical hand felled seams. Front top pocket flaps incorporated into front yoke. Bi-swing back. Box pleat cuff adjustment. This is a men’s large with a 25” chest, 22” center front, and 31” collar to cuff.
This sample was field tested before I revised a few details on the pattern and sewed up a new sample to test. It’s not too worn but has been used while wood cutting and wrenching on trucks so there’s some dirt worked into the denim. I can leave as is or do a mild hand wash before shipping.
