Chore jackets are practical, durable garments originally designed for labourer's, artisans, and factory workers. Traditionally made from heavyweight cotton, moleskin, or canvas, these jackets were built to withstand tough working conditions while providing comfort and mobility.

Work jackets, often dyed a signature deep blue, became iconic among tradesmen in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They typically feature a simple button-up front, a straight cut, and multiple patch pockets for carrying tools and essentials. Similar versions emerged in other European countries, such as Germany and the UK, where variations included different fabrics, colours, and closures suited to regional work needs.
Over time, these jackets transitioned from purely functional garments to stylish wardrobe staples, embraced for their timeless design and rugged elegance. Today, they are popular in casual fashion and workwear-inspired menswear, appreciated for their blend of practicality and understated sophistication.
