A New Chapter in a Time-Honoured Story
We’ve always made chore jackets. They’re part of our DNA—a staple for the craftsman, the creative, and the modern-day pioneer. But this… this is something new.
The Oakdale is our first-ever chore jacket made from corduroy. A fresh design that honours a century of heritage while stepping into something softer, more lived-in, and undeniably &SONS.
Built in Portugal from an 100% cotton—20% of which is recycled—this jacket wears like a vintage find from the first try-on. Washed down to a perfectly faded blue, it captures the character of an old favourite, with details rooted in function and tradition.
A Workwear Icon, Reimagined
Born in the 19th century and adopted by makers across the world, the chore jacket was never about fashion. It was about utility—four pockets, hardwearing fabric, and a fit that let you move. Farmers, mechanics, carpenters... men who shaped the world around them.
The Oakdale continues that legacy, but through a new lens. This isn’t just a replica. It’s our interpretation—cut with modern intent, built from beautiful washed cord, and finished with artisan-level attention to detail.
