The story
The Chore Coat is the sort of piece I reach for when I do not want to think too hard about what I am wearing.
The shape is straightforward, the pockets are useful, and the fabric is chosen to take marks instead of pretending work is clean.
It is quiet by design. The kind of jacket that earns its keep slowly.

Workshop Verdict
Built Oneat aTimeDesign intent
Built around a reason.
Build a daily outer layer that works hard without shouting.
Keep the pocketing generous and the silhouette easy to live in.
