The "Chore Jacket," known as "coverall" in Japan, is said to have originated in France in the 19th century and spread to America and various European countries. It was created as a simple, unlined, more affordable, and practical jacket made from thick, durable linen or cotton material for laborers who previously wore tailored jackets (like suit jackets). The 2 Monkeys AW2026 "Chore Jacket" is based on a vintage French thick linen jacket, believed to be from the early 20th century. It features a tight body width and a shorter length. This might have been to match the fit of the tailored jackets that laborers wore at the time. The smaller collar, unlike the large collars of classic French vintage moleskin jackets (the mainstream French style after the 1930s), resembles modern shirts. It has patch pockets on both sides, and the chest pocket is on the right, not the left, and is placed inside. This old and rare chore jacket, which would blend well with American casual style, is made from a high-density woven linen-cotton random herringbone fabric.
