Garment description

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 denim or canvas, 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 casual, 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 chore blazer in mid-weight linen that can be worn to workplaces, dinner outings, and to hiking trails. Roomy pockets. Unlined and unstructured construction. Light and breezy to wear. Ever so practical. A layering essential.

Frequently asked questions

What if the garment doesn’t fit me?

We have a flat 90-day no-questions-asked return and remake policy, and we are dead serious about it. We want you to have a perfect fit, Period.

If you are not happy with your fit, we will happily remake/alter the garment again till you find it to your satisfaction. 

We’re sure you’ll be pleased with the quality of our product. However, if it fails to meet your expectations, you can request a complete refund, no questions asked.

We make sure that you run no risk in trying us out.

How are you different from other custom/bespoke/tailoring setups?

Most of the clothes you wear day to day, such as jeans, khakis, jackets, denim shirts, etc., are not available custom-made for you. The industrial processes of construction and washing garments are unavailable to the local tailors. 

Even brands that claim to be bespoke or custom will leave you wanting that “ready-to-wear” finish. Specialized stitches such as bar-tacking, chain-stitching, double-needle, and French seam are required to make sturdy, enduring garments only seen in industrial setups. A puckering on the stitches, softness of a brushed garment all needs industrial washers and machines. 

Ready-to-wear garments, on the other hand, make you compromise on fit.

We offer personalized fit within the constraints of the business model. We allow you to customize your order as long as it does not compromise the style and make each garment specifically for you. You get the best of both worlds - an industrial finish of ready-to-wear with the personalized fit of made-to-measure. We will pull out all the stops to get the fit right on your first purchase of each type of garment. Once you are satisfied, next time will be breezy, as we store your custom measurements for future purchases.

How long does it take once I place an order?

We don’t hold up ready-made inventory, only the raw materials. We start making the product only once you place an order and your measurements are confirmed. 

That means your perfect size & style are always in stock, and we don’t create waste. 

Once our team has created and confirmed your measurements, shipping your order takes 7-8 working days.

How do I retrieve my measurements from my previous order?

Your measurements are safe with us. We will automatically retrieve your saved measurements if you use the email address as your original order. 

You can also log in from the product page or from the menu to see your previous measurements listed. 

Once you place the order, our Made to Measure specialists always contact you to confirm your measurements.

Will my garment shrink after washing?

All our garments are pre-washed and 99% of the shrinkage is taken out before shipping. You can expect very minimal shrinkage on washing.

A jacket that fits !

Dileep on Jun 16, 2022

Was tad apprehensive, the fit turned out perfect. It’s quite rare to have our sample shirt shipped across for the right fit, the idea really works as the fit speaks for itself. Love the color, material and the quality of this jacket. Got a wee bit greedy and got another one!

All occasion jacket

Siddharth Menon on Jan 18, 2022

Tom Easton on Oct 06, 2023

Haven't had the green jacket off since I bought it. Good in the intense heat outside, good in erratic air conditioning inside, perfect for India.

Classic style personified

Promit Sanyal on Jan 27, 2022

My search for the classic linen blazer ends here. The Vetiver color was just the right shade and the short length as well as the nuanced fit makes this my go to choice for work as well as weekend brunches. Super stuff

Excellent Jacket

Madhu Nair on May 04, 2023

I had ordered the blue one. 44 Slim . The jacket is extremely well fitting. I had ordered a 44 slim. Quality is extremely good. Highly recommended.

Excellent Service

Ravi Agarwal on May 16, 2023

I ordered a Chore Blazer, hesitatingly since fitting is an issue for online orders. However, I was pleasantly surprised at their no-fuss readiness to fix it, not once but twice. They strive to satisfy, which is wonderful to experience. Of course, the jacket itself is made of great fabric and well-tailored with attention to detail.

Fantastic jacket

Vinod T Varghese on Apr 22, 2023

I was not sure what to expect when I first ordered the Newman. I liked the look and placed the order on a whim. The process of uploading your pictures and measurements was easy. No technical hiccups. However, when I received the final product it was slightly big for me. I loved the fabric, the look and feel of the jacket, the stitching quality is outstanding, when you wear the jacket you feel good. It is not just a piece of clothing but a piece of art made with love. However, since I was not happy with the fit, I contacted the Monks. Immediately my jacket was taken back, measurements redone and I received a entirely fresh jacket in 2 weeks. Thank you Monks for your outstanding customer service & the absolute perfection of your clothing.

Great jacket

Solid fabric and construction

Ankush sahu on Mar 17, 2023

Fabric quality is awesome, feels premium price can be optimised a bit overall its fantastic

Outstanding and Comfortable casual jacket

Madhu on Dec 09, 2022

After a really long search for an unlined casual jacket, ended the search with the Newman chore blazer. Extremely versatile, comfortable and well fitting mid-weight linen blazer. This complements my everyday work wear as well as any casual outings that demand a slightly more than casual wear. Loved the fit and the subtle details that make it versatile yet classy. The team at MoM - Chinku / John and the team are extremely humble and take their work seriously and pride on the quality of their products which I attest to. Had bought the Marshmallow first, and ended up buying the Vetiver as well. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get a casual yet rugged and classy outer wear that goes best with a fitted jean!

Outstanding Performance

Romi on Jun 20, 2023

Amazing service by these people, couldn’t have asked for more better service. The jacket first received was tight but they called back on their own expense and replaced with perfect size, quality of fabric and stitching is excellent.

Safe bet every time!

Vinay Srivatsa on Jun 27, 2022

From what you describe, to what arrives, I’m always assured of the size, quality and fit. Add that to the personal touch and the lovely messages that makes me feel like I’ve got a couple of friends on the look out for my perfect clothings….it’s always a pleasure.

Stylish and charming!

Rajiv Chohan on Mar 23, 2023

Great informal jacket.. with or without a neckwear. With chinos or denims or slacks! I am delighted.. perhaps it could have been an inch smaller both for girth or arms thickness, but I am perfectly pleased with the product.

They are not hesitant to alter it again and again

Kushagra on Feb 27, 2023

I ordered their linen jacket online. I was having problems with measurement of the jacket. One time it was loose, then it was tight. I used to inform them on whats app and they would immediately arrange for a pickup from Amy address. They picked up the jacket twice from my address (without any additional cahrges). Finally I had the perfect fit. Best thing was the were not hesitant about altering it again and again.

Very nice
