From the brand: The Le Laboureur French Moleskin Work Jacket, often referred to as the “chore coat”, is an iconic workwear garment. A staple at Great Dixter and other great gardens, the jacket was originally worn by agricultural and industrial workers and is now synonymous with functional style. Simply and practically designed, this work jacket is a great outerwear piece that is wide enough to layer but not too bulky on its own. The thick, 100% Cotton moleskin fabrication is as hard wearing as it is hard working. There are 3 external pockets and one internal breast pocket - useful for your wallet, gloves, phone, notebook or secateurs.
To care for your jacket spot cleaning is advised. However, washing it on a cold wash will help achieve the lived-in finish that everyone loves in vintage workwear.
We are pleased to carry Le Laboureur, a small French family-owned brand producing traditional workwear since the 1950’s. Ever since, fashionmongers and gardeners alike have been drawn to their timeless shapes and practical use.
