While there are many interpretations of the chore coat, the quintessential design is a loose-fitting coat with large breast pockets or roomy hip pockets, a point collar, and a button closure. Originally designed for workwear purposes, chore coats are traditionally made from hard-wearing fabric that can take a beating. But in more modern times it has become a true fashion statement, with many leading European luxury fashion brands producing them from soft fabrics like wool, silk or linen. The chore coat first appeared in late nineteenth-century France. As a tough piece of outerwear made from durable cotton drill or moleskin, the chore coat was perfect for the tough physical work of labourers, railroad workers, and farmers, thanks to its loose fit that made it easy to throw over a set of overalls. In addition to being a hardy external layer, the roomy pockets were used to store everything a worker would need from tobacco tins to tools, and the button cuffs made for easy sleeve-rolling. Traditionally produced in a rich, vibrant French benzoate-based blue dye, the chore was known in its home country as bleu de travail which translates directly to ‘blue work‘. As classic workwear has grown in popularity over the last decade, the chore coat and its many interpretations have become a staple piece in the modern wardrobe. Versatile, reliable, and functional – a chore-style coat can complement almost any aesthetic – from the smart-casual inner-city look to rugged, workwear-inspired style. The Carhartt Chore Coat has stood the test of time, and many brands have produced their take on the traditional French chore coats.
