The Vollebak Sashiko Chore Jacket has been created by the brand as a high-strength garment inspired by the traditional Japanese art of sashiko to provide wearers with an outerwear style that's durable yet demure.
The jacket comes in the Blue Edition and the Grey Edition, which are each woven with 4.5-kilometers of meta-aramid thread that has been intricately shaped into a V-pattern across the exterior. The garment thus features one-million stitches for reinforcement to ensure it will move with the wearer, but never show signs of wearing or failure thanks to its inherently durable form.
The Vollebak Sashiko Chore Jacket is priced at $1,195 and is crafted with Japanese jacquard cotton that will soften with age to give it a truly comfortable profile.
