Wallace & Barnes lightweight twill chore jacket
essentials inspired by traditional workwear, military surplus, vintage uniforms and classic outdoor gear. This season is particularly influenced by the boat builders at Lowell's Boat Shop (est. 1793 in Amesbury, Massachusetts), the oldest one of its kind in America. This chore jacket, based on the classic French bleu de travail, features nautical-motif buttons as an homage to the dockworkers who embraced the durable and practical design. Though typically made from heavy-duty materials, our designers went with a lighter-weight cotton twill construction for the perfect layer to see you through temperamental, transitional weather. You'll also find hand and chest pockets, plus an interior compartment to stash all of your essentials.

What customers are saying:
Customers really love the jacket’s classic style and high-quality construction—it’s been praised for its versatility, durability, and rich, attractive colors that stand up well to everyday wear. Many appreciate that it works perfectly for both casual and slightly dressier settings and is a great option for transitional or cooler shoulder seasons. Several customers noted that the fit tends to run a bit slim, especially in the shoulders and arms, so there's a recommendation to consider sizing up if you plan to layer underneath. Overall, the jacket is seen as a stylish, dependable piece that adds a practical yet fashionable touch to any wardrobe.

Excellent Shade of Blue
October 1, 2025Excellent shade of blue. This jacket looks great. It is, however, on the slimmer side.

A good chore coat
September 10, 2025I have a real addiction to chore coats and I like this one. It's a little too finished, and a little too over constructed. I think it could do without the liner. I think I'll like it the more I wear it. I am glad, though, that I got it. It's very well made.

Love this jacket
August 19, 2025I absolutely love this chore jacket. It's a vibrant blue color and is a nice intermediate weight, not too heavy or too light, but just perfect for crisp spring/fall days or cooler evenings/mornings. Great for layering too. I'm 6'0'' and bought a large that fits me well.

Fun color, boxier than expected cut
August 19, 2025I love the gulf blue color of this chore jacket! I'm a woman, 5'8" 150lbs (36-29-39in) and got a size M based on another review. It's a little wider/boxier and longer than I would like, while comparatively the shoulders and arm sleeves feel narrower. I would exchange for an S, though I'd have to try it on for sizing in case the shoulders are tighter.
