Zip Chore Coat - Workforce Selvedge (10.9 oz) - Naked & Famous Denim

The Zip Chore Coat in Workforce Selvedge is a modern interpretation of classic workwear, crafted from a lightweight 10.9 oz Japanese selvedge denim that combines vintage aesthetics with practical functionality.

This jacket is made from 10.9oz Workforce Selvedge, a lightweight 100% cotton Japanese denim. The fabric is produced with an uneven ("slubby") and textured ("neppy") white weft yarn, which creates small cotton flecks across the fabric's surface and provides an authentic, old-fashioned look. The classic blue selvedge ID enhances the jacket's vintage feel.

The fabric is initially stiff but quickly softens with wear for increased comfort. The jacket's light indigo shade is chosen to accelerate the fading process, making it easier to achieve a natural, light vintage patina over time. For increased durability, all seams are triple-stitched, a technique taken directly from traditional workwear.

The design combines the classic "Chore Coat" silhouette with modern closures. The jacket has a classic fit and is equipped with a robust front zipper instead of traditional buttons. It features discreet welt pockets, contrasting white seams, and a vintage-style "wet bark" cardboard patch on the back. Details such as silver-colored metal hardware underscore the industrial and functional aesthetic.
