The Bille Chore Jacket

Crafted from an impeccable Italian moleskin weave (295 g/sqm), the Bille Chore Jacket is an ideal companion for all your daily tasks: whether it is walking the dog, grabbing a newspaper, riding a bicycle, or enjoying a daytime drink – the list goes on.

Originally designed and made explicitly for physical labour, the bleu de travail, first appeared in nineteenth century France as outerwear made of a thick cotton. A loose-fitting jacket with roomy pockets (breast- and hip-) and button closure, the original ones were produced in a vibrant blue dye, hence the name, which translated to English means ‘blue work’.

Featuring four spacious pockets to accommodate all your essentials, it is the ultimate travel companion; elegant enough for an upgrade, yet robust enough to be stashed in the overhead compartment.

Designed to also accommodate a chunky wool sweater underneath for the colder days and capable of repelling light rain showers (or even snow if it must), this jacket is crafted in Portugal and is the quintessential piece for spring, summer, and fall.
