The saturated “bleu de travail” look became iconic because it hid grime and aged beautifully with natural fading and repairs. This example also shows Sanforized cotton, a shrink-control treatment that helped uniforms keep their shape through heavy laundering. Today, vintage chore jackets are worn as everyday outerwear for their relaxed fit and utilitarian styling, and the authentic patina is part of the appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSize \u0026amp; Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eXL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth (Pit To Pit) 23 \"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength (Collar To Hem) 28 \"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll measurements are in inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed - Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"French Workwear","offers":[{"title":"XL","offer_id":57029664539006,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2549\/6714\/files\/2353a525-983c-4bfe-a9fa-005322c8f9ea_product_a4b9316b-195d-4da0-829d-e87ed9ac5734_1772721383327_d1fd2e87-0010-4566-ac86-e23c345aaa65.jpg?v=1772723126","url":"https:\/\/americanmadness.co.uk\/products\/vintage-chore-jacket-blue-734117","provider":"American Madness","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
