Workwear collection starts from garments that were originally meant to simply do their job well.
One of them is the Chore Jacket. Born in late 19th century France as the bleu de travail, it was created with necessity at its core: a reliable layer for workers, built to endure repetition, movement, and time.
Our interpretation stays close to that origin, but translates it through materials. Japanese textiles, selected for their depth and irregularity.
Sashiko-inspired fabrics, developed through double weave structures. The pattern emerges directly from the loom: diamond-like in one version, vein-like in the other.
They reference traditional sashiko and kendogi fabrics.
Finished with a bio-wash enzyme treatment, softening the hand while opening the structure.
A jacquard version where the structure is built on contrast: indigo in the warp, colored yarns in the weft, revealing a unique internal pattern on the inside of the jacket. The same bio-wash process opens up the surface, allowing the pattern to breathe and reveal its full depth.
- Fit: Authentic chore jacket silhouette, relaxed boxy fit with dropped shoulders and adjustable back waist tab, built for unrestricted movement.
- Fabric: Indigo double-weave sashiko-style fabric, bio-washed enzyme treated for soft handfeel and evolving texture.
- Hardware: Patinated copper-toned metal buttons, echoing vintage workwear hardware.
- Details: Utility patch pockets, contrast jacquard internal lining, and reinforced stitching throughout.
