Chore jackets originated in France in the 1800s when railroad workers, engineers and farmers needed hardwearing jackets for outdoor work. Made in tough fabrics such as s, they were boxy and light to allow easy movement, and utilitarian with multiple pockets for carrying tools and small items. As men’s wardrobe became more, chore jackets found their way into stylish men’s wardrobe everywhere.
Inspired by the utilitarian appeal of chore jackets, we have created a stylish, hybrid jacket for you in Belfast. With blazer-like notch-lapels, but constructed more like chore jackets of yore, Belfast embodies the smart casual spirit. A versatile cotton twill jacket that helps you pull off a plethora of stunning looks. Roomy pockets. Unlined and unstructured construction. Light and breezy to wear. Ever so practical. A layering essential.
