Vintage Chore Jacket - Grey

Editors Notes

Grey/stone workwear-style chore jacket with a point collar, covered front placket (concealed buttons), and oversized patch pockets (one large chest pocket and large lower patch pockets visible at the sides). Heavy-duty plain-weave canvas-like fabric with visible wear, paint/ink marks, and patina throughout; size tag reads “Plutex” and “52.” Straight, boxy cut with simple utility stitching typical of European work jackets.

European chore jackets like this were built as hard-wearing factory and field layers, usually cut roomy to fit over sweaters and work shirts. Brands such as Plutex supplied practical, no-frills garments in sturdy woven cloth with big patch pockets and a protective covered placket to keep dust and snagging down on the job. The honest stains, scuffs, and faded marks you see are part of the garment’s working life, and they’re exactly what collectors call “patina.” Today, this style is a staple in modern workwear and menswear wardrobes, worn as an overshirt with denim and boots or dressed up over tailoring for a utilitarian contrast.
