STF-CH201-OLV - STF 8oz Brushed Twill Chore Jacket - Olive

[ARNC]

Unexpected change to my fw25 plans – I passed on the a couple of weeks ago as I couldn’t get my head round the measurements and ended up picking up an 🫒 instead. Really hope this works out as it looks so good!

[Steve]

@ARNC hope it works for you!

[ARNC]

I think it works, but dissenting views are welcome. Sleeve length is borderline but I think ok (sizing up would make minimal difference and definitely be too loose in the body for my taste). Everything else feels good.

Tradition says I should tell you if it’s buttoned or not, but I think you’re smart enough to work it out!

Very tempted to wear it tomorrow as we have a dress down day at work.

[Steve]

@ARNC looks goodmate, I think the arm length is good. And defo wear it for your dress down day, works well with a shirt

[ARNC]

Thanks @Steve! Nobody knows better how this should fit and it confirms my already 90% decision to wear it today. No promises, but I’ll try to get a pic later that does this jacket justice (unlike my quick and dirty pics from last night).

[Steve]

@ARNC look forward to hopefully seeing your pic

[ARNC]

@Steve a couple from the office garden. Apologies for the dopey look in the second one!

@ARNC the earth tones are great in this. I really think the jacket and pants compliment each other well.

[ARNC]

@catdad1 thanks! An esteemed forumite and former mod once told me I should wear more earth tones, and it looks like he was right.

[Steve]

@ARNC the chore goes really well with the rest of the outfit

[ARNC]

@Steve thanks! I was tempted by the bleached sashiko but this one will fill a gap in my wardrobe much better. I can see this getting a lot of use.

[ARNC]

I needed to give my jacket an early wash as it had picked up food smells that wouldn’t air out (and I don’t really want my wardrobe smelling of last week’s dinner, even if it was a good dinner). I’m pleased to report that it launders like a dream.

In case it helps, I let it soak through in tepid water, washed at 20°C, delicates cycle, 400rpm spin, then air dried and gave it a light tickle with a steam iron. No discernible difference from the day it arrived.

[Steve]

@ARNC glad you have found out it launders well! - it really is a lovely fabric

[m4xime]

@ARNC I think this looks a perfect fit!

[ARNC]

@Steve definitely a great fabric (and your care label raised a smile).

[ARNC]

@m4xime thanks. I’m really pleased with it.

[Steve]

@ARNC - haha, I always wonder how many people read that!!!

[ARNC]

@Steve at least one!
