Everyman Chore Coats

Everyman Chore Coats

The Everyman Chore Coat is the capstone piece of a long running project we’ve been working on at Aroundsquare, to create a highly versatile, extremely comfortable, set of work/ play anywhere/ anytime clothes. The chore coats are the perfect complement to our work pants and vests. They’re uncomplicated and understated. 

The chore coat came about as a response to several failed attempts to purchase a good, basic work coat. We wanted something that would be versatile enough to wear to the office, on a hike, or in the workshop. We found that pretty much everything out there was either over-engineered like some kind of techwear, and/ or cut uncomfortably through the shoulders as if to deliberately frustrate any attempts at raising your arms. The Everyman Chore Coat is our attempt to balance things out. We've removed what's unnecessary, straightened out the lines, and made the whole thing comfortable and functional. 

Features include: 

• mid-weight 260gsm 100% cotton canvas construction
• fell seams throughout for comfort and durability
• standing collar (aka Mandarin collar or Nehru collar) because, what’s a flappy collar there for anyways
• three patch pockets with reinforced stitching
• generous arm and body length to make sure you don’t come up short
• closed cuffs for the sake of minimalism
• branded with a word mark on the left hip
• Available in black and grey, and sizes M to XXL and Large Tall.

Sizing notes: 

These are a fairly slim fit, and being 100% cotton, they will shrink if washed/ dried hot. If you're planning to wear them primarily with a T-shirt, and to take a bit of care when you wash them, you should be fine in your standard size. If you're on the fence, or plan to wear them over a sweater or other layers, you'll likely want to size up. Size chart is included in the product photos for reference.
