French Work Jacket

Story

Crafted with indigo-dyed, Japanese herringbone twill and drum-tumbled buttons

Inspired by the classic French chore coat, this refined layer brings a utilitarian three-pocket construction, a roomy, work-ready silhouette, and a rounded collar—a hallmark of heirloom chore coats. Crafted by the master artisans at 3sixteen, it’s made from durable cotton herringbone twill woven in Japan. Plus, the fabric is stonewashed for a broken-in, vintage feel and indigo-dyed to achieve a rich color saturation that'll fade and patina according to your unique wear. Drum-tumbled, metal-painted buttons bring together the authentic look of this jacket's French predecessors.
