Description
The Chore Jacket has always been built for work. Ours still is.
Cut from a substantial 100% cotton herringbone fabric woven by Halley Stevensons in Dundee—a mill with over 150 years of textile expertise—this is our interpretation of a true workwear icon. We've refined the silhouette with a cleaner, more contemporary fit while preserving the honesty and functionality that made the original indispensable.
Traditional denim hardware gives the jacket a reassuring weight and durability, reinforcing its workwear roots without unnecessary embellishment. Every detail has a purpose.
Each jacket is then heavily washed by Laundre in London, specialists in responsible garment finishing. Their environmentally conscious approach creates a lived-in character that would normally take years to earn, softening the fabric while revealing the depth and texture of the herringbone weave.
No oversized logos. No artificial scarcity. No trend-driven design.
Just exceptional fabric, thoughtful construction and honest craftsmanship.
Made in our own factory in Leicester, England.
For the ones doing the invisible work.
Fabric & Softening Process
We don't treat our fabric with the chemical softeners most brands use to make a shirt feel premium on day one. That coating washes out fast, and what's underneath is usually thinner than you'd like. Ours starts firm and raw on purpose. By the third or fourth wash, it's softer than most shirts ever get — and it stays that way, because there was nothing artificial to wash off in the first place.
Materials & Care
- 100% organic cotton
- 300gsm ring-spun combed jersey
- Reactive dyed
- Pre-shrunk
- No chemical softening Machine wash cold, similar colours. Hang to dry — no tumble drying, no chemical shortcuts in the wash any more than there were in the making.

Our Story
We didn't start as a fashion brand.
CWT began during COVID, when we kept our factory's machines running for a world that had stopped ordering.
What started as a way to protect the jobs of the people who'd worked here for decades became something bigger — clothes made exactly how we'd always made them for other brands, just without their name on the label, or their markup on the price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it shrink?
Pre-shrunk before it reaches you — expect minimal movement after that.
How do I know my size?
Try our Fit Finder — 30 seconds, tells you exactly what to order. Or check the model reference in the gallery above.
What if it doesn't fit?
Send it back within 90 days, free, no questions.
Where is it made?
Most of our products are proudly made in Leicester, UK. Our Essentials Collection is currently made in Istanbul, where some of the world's best garment dyeing specialists are based.
Why doesn't it feel super soft straight out of the bag?
Because we don't treat it with chemicals to fake that. Give it a wash — it starts softening immediately and keeps improving from there.
If people stop wearing us on the streets, we've done something wrong.
That's the only review that ever really mattered to us. What are you waiting for?
