Suiting for People Who Don't Wear Suits.

Ever since we released our Work Pant two years ago, we’ve been thinking about how the fabric, construction details, fit and sensibilities would translate well to a matching blazer. Not a blazer in the traditional sense, of course, but something that would be much more akin to the chore coats that are a mainstay in our collection. Some of us don't really wear suits often outside of, say, weddings and funerals. We wanted to make a jacket that you could toss on with a pair of jeans without thinking twice, but also pair together with the Work Pant for a nice dinner out.
This season we're excited to introduce the Work Blazer: unlined, garment-dyed, refined enough for the office and rugged enough for pretty much anything else. At its heart, this really is a chore coat - note the large patch pockets, double-needle construction, and the shorter body. We were inspired by vintage French Bleu De Travails; everyone recognizes the classic three-pocket style with standard collar, but some featured notched lapels like the one on our Work Blazer. We modernized and refined the fit to match the spirit of the Work Pant, and the result is a suit that we'd want to wear.
Pair it up or run it solo, there’s no wrong way to wear it.
