IHJ-150-BRN - 20oz Paraffin Coated Duck Chore Jacket - Brown

@Tom-Longarms this is also my lived experience a lot of the time . On the plus side I've decided it's a nice excuse to get some tats in/around my wrists to take the edge off! I'll badge it as a mid-life crisis..

@Oaktavia Looks great on ya man - wear it in good health!

[Oaktavia]

@Denman-John thank you sir, will do for sure.

[Tom Longarms]

@long_john86 haha that’s a god idea

Might I suggest that these chore jackets were designed with shorter arms purposefully? I would imagine Haraki was aware how the sleeves were measured, cut and sewn into jackets. Perhaps chore coats with cropped arms are a design choice @Alex? I wouldn't like this on a Type 1, 2, or 3 for example but I think it works well a silhouette in this type of garment.

Starting to see signs of early bird evo. AFAIK, waxed jackets start to show patina quickly. Looking forward to this one down the line. I am currently wearing it over the 21oz CPO and it works as an outer shell almost like a blazer.

@Oaktavia could have been, mate - If it was delvierate, he did not tell us, but perhaps he had his reasons

@Oaktavia loving the look of this already!

[Oaktavia]

@Alex right on brother, thanks for the response.

@AdamC dude I'm so stoked I can wear it over too of the 21oz CPO. Sometimes sleeves are too narrow to layer with heavyweights. But these two work out fine. So evo all day.

@Oaktavia seems to me that chore coats always have shorter sleeves. Like, historically. I think this is so one can work with their hands and not have sleeve in the way, and not get caught in machinery.

[Oaktavia]

@sabergirl that's exactly what I was thinking, yup. Someone else mentioned that too, I forget who.

Aesthetically, I like how the cuffs from the 21oz CPO stick out further from the chore coat when layering. Blue and brown FTW.
