Back in 19th-century France, there was "bleu de travai" – meaning "blue work" in English. French workers needed a durable uniform for their day-to-day, and so the chore jacket was born. This particular iteration is the work of made-in-Italy label B
arena Venezia and is crafted with the same traditional craftsmanship we've come to expect from the brand. Cut from herringbone twill and stitched with a patch pocket, it's a utility jacket through and through.
