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):
This in indigo DD (@Oaktavia
), the new 21oz indigo serge, or anything else heavy would be the perfect winter chore coat. -
@Mister_Brue my word that 17oz hickory is GLORIOUS! I would wear the feck outta that thang.
-
@Mister_Brue deng that hickory chore coat has some fantastic details: side entry pockets, bi-swing shoulders…

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

@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…
-
@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.

@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!!
-
BB- «14oz black warp/black weft selvedge denim. The warp is black sulphur rope dyed, the weft is black sulphur dipped»
SBG- «This denim has a black sulphur dyed warp and a black reactive dyed weft. With time the warp will fade but the weft won't.»
SBG fades with more contrast. As far as I can recall, SBG has been done in different fabric weights, while BB has been restricted to 14oz so far. SBG has been around for years and years, BB is relatively new.

Thanks @neph93 .

@endo Probably one of these. The OG cowboy hat.

The creases that define the cowboy hat now would develop through wear as people would use thumb and forefinger on the crown to remove the hat. Later that was put in pre-market to give us what we have today.

A question for @ShopatIronHeart - do you stack these buttons?
My whipcord shorts have the top button sewn on, and I'd like to know if these could be swapped out.
