Cathartt Chore Coat - Indigo

TCB - Cathartt Core Coat - Indigo

This time, TCB referred to a vintage Carhartt jacket from the 20s. It was a dream jacket for them, and they used details from their own jackets mixed with everything they know about the ones from an earlier time frame. This piece is developed from a super rare Master Cloth chore coat that had the heart-shaped tag only available until the 20s. They've used a relatively low tension weave for this piece with a 7 to 1 warp to weft count. This will lead to wild, raindrop fades! In terms of fading, this is dyed with 100% indigo dyes. According to TCB, at some point in history, they started diluting the indigo which gave garments a green tint as they faded. That will not be the case with this piece. This indigo has more blue than black tint to it for a light, royal color that is reminiscent of its origins (this is because they dyed the cotton fewer times in indigo baths to save cost).

*To those who have other TCB chore jackets,
The fabric is softer than the one of Tabby's Jacket or of Black Cat Jacket but the blue tinge is very similar to Tabby's. The twill line is much more visible on the fabric of this new chore jacket so the more vertical, so-called rainfall fade is expected.

• 100% rope dyed indigo cotton
• Square collar with a joint at the center.
• Adjustable change buttons with eyelets on the cuffs and the collar
• Set-in sleeve
• Light blue bartack details
• Low sleeve caps often seen on the garments of 20s or before
• Patch pockets
• Custom Cathartt woven labels and heart snaps

All the buttons used on this Carhartte Chore Coat are change buttons so that we recommend you take them off before washing. In case of breakage or loss of the buttons, we don't offer the buttons for free of charge. 

PROUDLY DESIGNED and MADE in Kojima, Japan only by TCB crews.

*A variance of +/- 0.5" is within tolerance 

*All measurements are in inches and measured on a flat surface. Sleeve length is measured on the underarm from armpit to the end of cuff. Body length is measured from center-back of neck seam to the bottom of garment.

*Fit Notes: This jacket is built with true vintage specs. It's definitely an oversized jacket and is built to wear with a relaxed fit. You could easily fit a heavyweight sweatshirt underneath if you go with your true size. For this shoot, Tommy wore a size 40 because it was the only thing available at the time. Tommy is our standard fit reference, and he would wear a 36 in all likelihood but could wear a 38 if he was looking for room to layer. We’ve adjusted the size notations (s=36) to give you a more accurate picture of how roomy these are. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest.
