The Original Chore Coat: Le Mont Saint Michel

[@rumblestar5771]

They are great jackets. I purchased my blue French chore coat directly from St. Michel online but also recently had a chance to go to their Le Maris/Paris shop a couple weeks ago; wonderful staff and great to see all the colors and other jackets/shirts/etc.. in person. Well worth the visit!

Thanks for sharing!

I bought 2 of them this year in blue and Forrest green. It's a hidden gem.

Thank you for a great review! I received mine today direct from the LMSM factory in France. Their service is awesome. I am the same height as you (5.7) and ordered a size 48. It is very boxy - and big in the chest and length. So I wanted to see how it fitted on someone else. I prefer your more fitted look. But, I'll use mine in autumn and warmers winter days, so will layer a thick sweater under. So, I think I'm going to get the sleeves shortened and live with it a tad big as an exception in my wardrobe to my usually fitted garments. It'll develop a great patina and the brand comes with an awesome story!

I sized down from my usual size for a slimmer fit, and the length seems good for me. But I am not able to layer anything underneath, except for a shirt. I wore it to NYC last week and it served well. The pockets come in helpful.

Love this chore coat and I love the Real Mcoys. I have a few chore coats, all Japanese brands (Samurai, etc) hickory stripes, a blue one like yours, and I find them very functional and useful and love to travel with them on.I think this is a great choice! And color is perfect

Very cool. I just stumbled on this chore coat, seemed like the right length and fit for me. Love the vintage/heritage brands. Cheers.

@@sc1 my first GMT Pepsi- with meteorite. With all the hoopla about Pepsi being discontinued, I am going for it, but it’s painfully expensive

@@abhaig holy crap, Worth it. Go for it. Your AD came through for you.

Dapper dude. Alas, my wardrobe is Costco-centric.

nice one

[@sc1]

Thanks 👍

[@MashiroRedo]

Does it have an inside pocket? For me it's either this or the Vetra, but the Vetra doesn't have sleeve buttons on the button and LMSM seems like it doesn't have an inside pocket lol. Tough decision.

[@sc1]

No, my jacket does not have an inside pocket

[@MashiroRedo]

@@sc1 Thanks! Really helpful video. Please give us an update down the road. Would love to see how it fades.

[@chrisdrake331]

Love the watch. Not sure about the coat it. Would be a tad young looking for me personally

[@TwentyOne_Five]

Nice

[@ama__92_]

Would you consider taking a seam ripper to remove the branding on the pocket?

[@sc1]

I just checked it again, and I think that might work. Yes, I might just consider doing this.

TRM is the best heritage brand out there IMHO
