Vintage Chore Jacket - Grey

Editors Notes

Light grey/stone workwear-style jacket with a point collar, raglan shoulder construction, and a concealed front placket (single visible top button). Features a large patch chest pocket and subtle seam detailing; fabric shows heavy wear with creasing, faint stains/oxidation marks, and a small rectangular discoloration on the left chest suggesting a removed name/ID patch. Size tag appears to show “52,” typical of European workwear sizing.

This is a classic European work jacket silhouette, the kind worn by mechanics, factory workers, and tradespeople throughout the mid-to-late 20th century for daily protection and easy layering. Details like the concealed placket, roomy cut, and patch pocket were designed for practicality and durability rather than fashion, which is why these pieces age with so much character. The visible patina and ghosting where a patch once sat are common tells of authentic workwear use and are now prized by collectors. Today, vintage work jackets like this are styled as casual outer layers over tees and knits, fitting right into the ongoing utilitarian and “chore jacket” trend.
