Up Close: Engineered Garments Cotton Chore Coat

Easily wearable as everything Suzuki designs. I picked this up from my good pal Michael Andersen, since he’s slowly but surely becoming a tech-ninja. Another mans trash if another mans treasure or something like that. I really like the construction on this one: the saw-tooth stitching on the shoulders, sleeves, and collar allows it to keep it’s shape even though the fabric is extremely lightweight. May be due for an indigo dip shortly if I continue to spill guacamole on it.

Pointer Brand Chore Coat

Not everything that’s worth having in your closet has to cost an arm and a leg; this chore coat is a perfect example of that. Pointer Brand is a workwear company that still proudly makes all their product in Bristol, TN – the same place L. C. King founded the company in 1913. This chore coat is crafted with a domestically sourced, heavy weight duck canvas – it’s called ”duck” because it comes from the Dutch “doek” meaning “linen canvas.” A perfect layer for the beginning of the cooler months. There’s plenty of space to store your belongings with four front pockets, and even one for your writing utensil of choice. Double-stitch construction throughout the interior of the jacket for durability. Pointer Brand brass buttons down the front & at the cuffs, and the infamous Pointer logo is stitched onto the front pocket are really nice, subtle details. These run on the large size, so I sized down one – and it fit’s really well.

These can be purchased directly through Pointer – right here
