Still cut and sewn in France using the same traditional methods and materials, this washed cotton chambray jacket is the perfect piece to welcome the warmer weather. Since it’s unlined, it allows for garments to be worn underneath. It hides an interior breast pocket and the straight hem and regular fit ensure you won’t feel constricted if/when you happen to wear a thick button-down with it. Chambray has been a staple fabric for workwear, as a finely woven cloth with a plain weave and a smooth surface appearance. This particular shade of chambray cloth has a black tint while the jacket has been stitched with a white thread for a fresh look and with white buttons for a pop of colour.

The chore jacket was originally a garment worn by farmhands during chilly mornings on the job. The boxy number had the look of a loose fitting shirt, only it was heavier and more durable, making it ideal for layering and fighting off the elements. Today, many menswear designers have taken the work jacket, given it a trim and a bit of fine-tuning, and released a more style-focused version. Vetra still cuts and sews their garments in France using the same traditional methods and materials they did many years ago.
