Carhartt WIP launches its first release of 2021 with a leather chore coat, which is a bespoke design of the brand's signature chore coat. This takes an iconic workwear silhouette and updates it with a leather construction of black cowhide.
The sleek change of route comes with four pockets and a snap button closure at the arm holes and placket. Notably, these snap buttons are also branded and the entire look is complete with a matte finish. The leather material perfectly fuses luxury with utility. The jacket is lined entirely for ultimate comfort and has a boxy fit. Rounding out the design are some flap pockets at the chest and anatomical seams at the wrist.
