Probably not rope dyed because it is an expensive process, or that they are using shit indigo (and cotton and constructional yarns and hardware and and and)…..

Trying to ID this eBay pickup. Description said it was 10oz mock twist chambray. The only current offering I see is the “salt and cayenne,” but this has domed snaps and a blue/grey selvage ID. The stitching is all gold and the color is a very bright red, with an almost orange-y tint. Maybe a previous offering? Anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Could be one of a few, started doing red chambrays with the IHSH-16 a LONG time ago....

[sabergirl]

The 16 did have those same snaps. I only have the indigo short-sleeve one, but the hardware looks like that.

What is this ? Some listings say drizzler or drucker? Trying to find out material/weight but I can’t find an actual product ID . Any help appreciated gents

@caseyjonez I have seen this listing as well (or one quite similar) and was wondering the same. From the photos, it seems like a khaki duck chore coat, which is pretty fecking awesome. It would be even better as a brown or black duck OR dare I say double indigo duck chore coat. Radness overload. That is, if the coat in this listing is authentic.

[caseyjonez]

@Oaktavia yea I agree on all points lol. A google search and on here and Reddit brings up nothing similar . FWIW it’s the same size and photos in all 69 of the Japan listings . So maybe a sample or one off or a fake. But I don’t see anything like it in other colors either . Like chore mechanics coat

I was looking at these the other day after a hint that there may be more chore coats on the way.

Personally (although I understand they are different beasts), I think these pale into insignificance compared to the spec of this earlier example (with maybe the exception of the cuffs):

https://forum.ironheart.co.uk/topic/897/ihj-529-17oz-extra-heavy-hickory-stripe-engineer-chore-jacket/7?_=1745591130455

This in indigo DD (@Oaktavia ), the new 21oz indigo serge, or anything else heavy would be the perfect winter chore coat.

[Oaktavia]

@Mister_Brue my word that 17oz hickory is GLORIOUS! I would wear the feck outta that thang.

[flannel slut]

@Mister_Brue deng that hickory chore coat has some fantastic details: side entry pockets, bi-swing shoulders…

[Mister_Brue]

@flannel-slut The best specced chore jacket I’ve seen.

Adjustable cuffs and a l/h pocket snap, and it’s perfect.

[tody]

@caseyjonez FWIW, the jacket can be bought through buyee.jp from mercari. The numerous listings on eBay are just resellers stepping in.

[pechelman]

does anyone else who carries a pocket knife in their front pockets have most of their western and type 3 jacket hems catch on the clip?
Any tricks for avoiding this? At best it's annoying and worst it disengages the knife clip from the pocket entirely.
