South Shore Chore Coat

Probably my most worn WW Jacket

For sizing, I'm a size 45" chest and went XXL. I run warm and in the winter like to layer without feeling restricted, and it's a nice classic looking fit. I own two hoodoraks, and two CPOs, and have tried an AAJ. In the Northeast, this is often more than enough. It's also tied with the hoodorak for ease of movement, and roominess where I like it (chest, arm hole areas). Even over a wool base layer tee, I feel like I can wear it around the office without much fuss, if I need the pockets over my CPOs. Highly recommend for a nice spring and fall jacket. If you could only have one, this is probably a tie with the hoodorak for me.

I’m so upset…

I have many Weatherwool items, Al’s Anorak, Peacoat, Hooded Jacket and now the South Shore Chore Coat. I’m so upset…because of how much I love it and as soon as I tried it on and felt the wool denim I immediately went online to look at other colors. For reference I’m 180lbs and the medium fit perfectly with room to wear a shirt or long sleeve base layer underneath. 100% home run and I want a second one. The indigo has really caught my eye. You might wonder why you see so many 5 star reviews. It’s because it’s actually that good.

Absolutely Love it

So, you buy an item, maybe slightly expensive… You worry if it will fit, if it will be what you were hoping for, if it is what you thought…. Then you get it and it’s all that. Sized exactly as the website said. Comfortable. Looks good. Fits. Makes you feel so good you want to tell everybody because it shows you made the right decision. This is that thing. I wanted a jacket I could wear in Utah winters. Not for camping, but normal to and from, here and there, work or social, dress or casual. It’s all that. I got it when we were unseasonably warm, 50-60 in January. Perfect. Cozy. Not overweight but doesn’t feel fragile either. Since then, it’s gone down into the 20-30F range. Still good enough I continue to be tempted to stop and stay outside and wait to see if I get cold. My legs get cold, torso feels good. To be fair, I think in the low 20-30s and wind, I’d need some layering, but in this dry Utah winters, it’s great. I still want either the all around or the denim double for long stationary periods outside, but this is my new every day, all around jacket. And my wife loves it because it’s not a canvas work coat.
