Quilt Lined Duck Chore Jacket

A chore jacket in a fine duck with a quilted lining, cut short in the body the way a chore jacket should be.

The chore shape has survived a century because it does not get in the way: a straight body, a plain collar, and pockets set where a hand naturally falls. The lining here is quilted, which gives real warmth without the padding of an insulated coat, so the jacket keeps its clean line instead of puffing out. Cedar green and black are the colours, and green is the one that stops it looking like workwear.

Wear it over a flannel or a hoodie through autumn and into a mild winter. Take a size that allows for that layer. Chore jackets do not go out of style, so this is one to buy properly rather than cheaply.
