This hardy piece of outerwear has evolved over the past century from a practical uniform worn by blue-collar laborers to an everyday staple for men and women worldwide. This practical and easy-to-throw-on coat is made from 100% WeatherWool Denim, and it seems we are the only ones offering 100% Wool Denim!  Our Denim transcends the gap between formal and casual.  From work to play, formal to forest, WeatherWool Denim is more than capable.    Designed for the shoulder season but cut with a relaxed fit to comfortably accommodate a heavy wool shirt or sweater underneath to push it into cooler temperatures.   Denim and the Chore Coat conform to our original philosophy of Hardcore Luxury ... luxurious garments offering hardcore performance.  The Denim is soft and comfortable against bare skin, but handles weather and work.  And it's tough ... check out this orbital sander test! The South Shore Chore Coat is offered in Charcoal, Indigo (traditional Denim color!) and Natural White (Undyed and Unbleached fiber). Cody, in the hat, is 5'11" and 165 pounds (180 cm and 75 kg).  JR, in the headscarf, is 6'0" and 165 pounds (183 cm and 75 kg).  Both are wearing Medium. The South Shore Chore Coat, named for the South Shore of New York's Long Island, where it was developed by Advisor JR Morrissey, was our first offering in our 100% Wool Denim Fabric.  JR, in his production shop, wears a Natural White Chore Coat in a photo nearby on this page.  Remarkable coincidence ... a guy from Sweden who already had Charcoal and Indigo Chore Coats, asked, via Instagram comment, for a photo of Nat White.  I happened to be online when he posted, so I replied immediately that I'd work on it.  Returning to my email, I was happy to see Anya, Production Manager, had just sent the needed photo!  THANKS ANYA and JR!!!  Keep on truckin!!!!!! Please click here for a video on the Chore Coat.  The video, about 10 minutes long, was made by, and features, Advisor Cody Bokshowan.  There is plenty of background information on the Denim Page, but basically only half of the yarn in denim is typically dyed, and the denim weave creates a fabric with the contrasting face and back that has come to be strongly associated with denim.  Our Natural White Denim is completely undyed, so the face and back are very similar.
