Vintage Chore Jacket - Blue

Editors Notes

Navy blue French-style chore/work jacket in sturdy twill with a point collar, covered front button placket, one chest patch pocket, and two large lower patch pockets. Visible wear includes small paint specks/marks on sleeve and near the front placket, plus a few small holes along the lower back hem.

Chore jackets like this were originally designed as hard-wearing workwear for factory and workshop use, prized for their simple construction and big patch pockets. The Friendship label suggests a classic utility maker, and this style is closely associated with European blue-work traditions that became a staple uniform for trades. Over time, these jackets crossed into everyday wardrobes thanks to their relaxed fit, durable twill fabric, and easy layering potential. Today, vintage chore coats are a modern menswear favorite for casual styling, workwear-inspired looks, and soft, broken-in patina that new garments can’t replicate.
