The Holiday Chore Jacket in Sky Blue

DESCRIPTION

A cotton-poly twill chore jacket in sky blue - washed to a soft chambray-like finish - utility and stripped of its workwear weight. The hidden magnetic closure system is in the fabric interlining beneath the buttons; the jacket closes on contact and opens with one pull, with nothing visible. Wear the sky blue chore jacket that looks like a considered choice and takes three seconds to put on.

FEATURES

√ A Faster & Easier Dressing Experience

The hidden function offers a novel and effortless dressing experience. The magnetic closure lets you "button up" in just two seconds.

√ Full Magnetic Closure System

The magnets are set in reinforced double-layer interlining behind every button with no hardware visible on either face of the jacket.

√ Oval Elbow Patches & Back Pleat

Oval elbow patches reinforce the highest-wear point on both sleeves; a single centre back pleat allows full arm movement under load.

√ Rounded Flap Hip Pockets

Two generously sized hip pockets with soft-curve flap closures, the flap closing magnetically so nothing comes loose on the move.

√ Soft Cotton-Poly Twill

A cotton-polyester twill blend washed to a softer hand - the poly content improves shape retention and reduces wrinkling.

√ Wash-Cycle Tested

All magnetic units are rated through 200+ machine-wash cycles without field degradation, while the sky blue holds its hue wash after wash without fading.

DETAILS

Design intent

The chore jacket in sky blue is a lighter proposition - the color removes the workwear weight even before the fabric does. The Holiday version builds on that with washed soft cotton-poly twill, a back pleat for ease of movement, and tonal buttons that keep the blue uninterrupted. The AbleCove magnetic closure removes the one physical interruption - fastening the placket - while leaving the buttons exactly where they belong.

Design inspiration

The chore jacket's shape was fixed in the 19th century. What has always varied is the context: the same silhouette worn in a factory in Normandy became a fashion reference in Tokyo fifty years later, and a weekend layer in London fifty years after that. The Holiday takes the form into its lightest register. The name lands the intent: this is the chore jacket for the months when you want to be somewhere other than where you work.

Craft details

The shell is a cotton-polyester twill blend - the polyester content sits at a ratio that improves wrinkle resistance without sacrificing the breathability of the cotton weave. Cut with a slightly dropped shoulder, extra ease through the chest, and a curved hem. Back carries a yoke seam and a single centre pleat for arm movement. Oval elbow patches on both sleeves. The magnetic closure system runs magnets in a reinforced double-layer interlining behind every button. All magnets are heat-welded into encapsulated woven pockets before panel assembly, rated through 200+ machine-wash cycles.
