Handmade in London, STF’s interpretation of the traditional chore jacket offers a more refined silhouette and tailored fit while preserving the classic workwear charm. Cut with restraint, it features a corozo button placket, a single chest pocket, and two larger waist pockets — all buttonless to maintain clean lines — along with a discreet internal pouch. All-felled seams and polycotton constructional stitching ensure lasting durability.

This version is cut from a lightly bleached 13.75oz indigo sashiko cloth. Woven in Japan, this style of fabric is known as sashi-ori — often used in kendo and judo uniforms for its tough yet breathable characteristics. The cloth’s heavy texture is created using a dobby loom to replicate the classic Japanese sashiko stitching technique, reinforcing both the fabric’s strength and aesthetic allure.
