The new Desert Chore Coat is live. First one we’re making is in Brown Canvas. This is 100% cotton. Fabric is milled in the U.S.A. (which is super rare) and one of the last mills that still makes heavier woven fabric.

It’s got big pockets and antique brass snaps and rivets.

We’re taking a different approach with this garment.

My long term dream is to have our own western wear factory. It’s extremely difficult, expensive and high risk. Many that attempt this fail. But it’s possible. There are brands doing it. And I have to try.

This garment is the first step in that journey. We’re going to make them here in Arizona. I’m going to sew as many as I can - and I’ve found a local seamstress that’s going to help me.

It’s a mix of feeling very excited, and also wanting to throw up - as we’re going to have to problem solve and figure out a lot of things along the way (things that can only be figured out through doing it).

The mfg of these will be very manual, time intensive. We don’t have the best machines yet. We don’t have an automatic cutting table. My kick press is broken. The lady that’s printing out our pattern just told me this morning her printer isn’t working.

But there’s only one way to figure it out. And we will. And then we’ll improve everything one coat at a time, until we have a well oiled machine and make the best chore coats in the west.

These will be made to order.

Expect to get yours 3 weeks from your purchase date.

As a thank you - and for your patience - we’re selling them at a slight discount right now.

Sizing - I recommend sticking with your shirt size. They’re slightly bigger than our shirts - designed to be worn over a couple layers. So if you wear a medium, go medium.
