A casual alternative to the blazer, the Nebrodi Chore Jacket is created from 100% linen woven in Italy. Cut to a traditional 'chore jacket' silhouette, it features a five-button closure, a natural deconstructed shoulder (no padding) and is fully lined.
The worker jacket is a vintage workwear classic, and by 'workwear', we do mean work; this garment was originally worn by manual labourers in the 19th and 20th centuries. Our version, woven from linen, is a summer dynamo perfect for your hybrid lifestyle. Suddenly work doesn't seem like such a chore, does it?
