@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.

@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.

[Oaktavia]

@pechelman I have had this happen a bunch and it forced me to just stop carrying as much.

[Matt]

I stopped carrying because I was tired of not being able to comfortably put my hands in my pockets. The only time I carry a knife is in Beatle Busters since the internal knife picket keeps it upright and out of the way. Have I mentioned Busters before? Great cut in case anyone’s wondering.

[sophisto000]

@Matt I’ve been wondering about them as I’ve seen them discussed as a fit, but then also see BB (maybe Black warp/Black weft yarn?) as part of several bottoms item codes and wondered if it was a fabric used across multiple fits. Do you (or anyone) have any insight on this? Thanks…

[Matt]

BB in its current iteration is black warp black weft.

[neph93]

@sophisto000 Beatle Busters were a now defunct IH jeans cut.

The lot number was IHxB01-???, where ??? was the fabric. I have the IHxB01-SBG and IHxB01-UHRi n my closet somewhere.

Calling them BB’s was forum slang and predated the «BB» fabric.

[sophisto000]

@neph93 Thanks for the clarification! What’s the difference between the BB fabric and SBG (which is technically also BB warp/weft, correct?)? Thanks for your patience with my newbiness!!
