The Best Chore Coats for Men | Taylor Stitch vs Wythe vs Wellen vs Le Mont St Michel

[@StrayReviews]

What’s your favorite chore coat?

[@czynski3]

I'm interested in the ones that are not $198 to $298! PS, Jackets go to just below the waist and coats go to the buttocks.

[@StrayReviews]

@@czynski3 That's correct. Didn't mean to use the two terms interchangeably here. The Gap has a nice looking one on sale for $45. 👍

[@Nic-ws6hu]

Good chore coat.

[@larryheiny5287]

Le Laboureur

[@predwards8941]

I have the Ojai and the chore coat from American Giant. Love both of them!

[@StrayReviews]

Had the Ojai on yesterday. Great coat!

[@darrenhall7454]

The Wellen gets my vote, too. It certainly suited you. We’re both similar height and build, so it’s useful for me to know what size you choose. Medium it is. 😁👍

[@StrayReviews]

Thanks Darren! I'm glad I could try it on for you. 😄

[@matthewduncan4933]

Could you tell us what sizes you were wearing in the Le Mont St Michel, and the Ojai?

[@StrayReviews]

I’m wearing a medium for all of them. 👍

[@88sstraight]

I really dig my Oni chore coat in black 20 oz secret denim, surprisingly drapey though heavily textured.

[@StrayReviews]

Ah, very nice!

[@TheBraveExalted]

With the Le Mont St Michel work jacket you said you got a size 48, but what are your rough dimensions? I’m looking to get one and I’m 5’7 and generally wear a medium in other brands, but have never bought anything in a European measurement. Was thinking a 42 but don’t want to go too small.

[@StrayReviews]

I'm roughly a 42" chest and 18" shoulder. This is my first European sized shirt and I just used the sizing table on Huckberry to pick the best size.

[@telemarktumalo6978]

Thanks for this review. Well done. I'm going to try the Wellen also. I really like the variety of pockets and the herringbone pattern. A light coat like this is incredibly versatile both inside, outside and even in the workshop. I also have one of the work jackets from Bleu de Chauffe that is my go to jacket for wearing inside at my desk job. It is definitely a traditional French chore coat style.

[@StrayReviews]

Definitely. The Bleu de Chauffeur is super classy.

I have the LC king chore coat. It is good I love the brown color I got it in it been showing a bit wear. I say their customer service last time I check is alright by email is a snail pace to reply but calling is most likely to get their attention. Shipping was slow too. I also tried wearing rail car goods but with my build it was too tight in the chest but sleeves are ok. I also tried but didn’t buy the Natchez chore coat from Billy Reid. BR is slim fit so size up by 1 at least. Cool thing about that is the buttons are genuine horn but removable so the body can be machine wash.

[@StrayReviews]

I’ve never seen removable buttons. Sounds like a cool feature!

[@splashpit]

I have three LC King chore coats in blue one has fisher stripe pocket flaps and fisher stripe cuffs , it’s a good fit for my body shape.

[@Cbotham]

Best chore coat is Carhartt Sherpa lined flannel

[@StrayReviews]

That's a coat you can actually do chores in! 👍

[@AliasHSW]

In the mid 90s the Barnyard Jacket style was all the hype as street fashion and the beginnings of corporate casual wear.

[@StrayReviews]

Nice! I'm pretty sure George wore one on Seinfeld for a while.

[@certainstrength]

I don’t think the room is dark enough. I can still see a tiny bit of detail on the coat

[@TheU2now]

Taylor Stitch is my choice

[@StrayReviews]

Excellent choice!

[@splashpit]

I have the Taylor Stitch moleskin chore coat and it’s my go too for casual I have LC King for work

[@davidcallan7844]

The Moleskine Jacket was the clear winner for me, not a fan of the cuffs on any of those chore coats, too much like shirt cuffs prefer the cuffs on the Nudie Jeans Co. Howie Chore Coat and the Naked And Famous Botton Chore Coat myself, all quality products though just my personal preference.

[@StrayReviews]

Both of those look excellent. Looks like they're currently sold out.

[@nuttly]

If you put it at x1.5 he talks at a less infuriating speed.

[@dark_gravity_edc]

Really over the Huckberry commercials. This isn't a review. Should be Stray Commercials.

[@StrayReviews]

I get it. Unfortunately, I'm finding that it's no easier to get new partners at 4000 subscribers than it was at 400. Maybe 14,000?

[@Kale-ki8xu]

Think, brother. Follow your instincts, for they serve you well. You've very nearly discovered that all reviews are inherently marketing. When you understand that, you understand how silly it is that you're fussing about such things.

[@drewengles4477]

At least Huckberry I can get behind. If I see one more "commercial" for thursday's I'm going to freak out. truly sick of their over saturation on this platform.
