    Well, yes, as a transitional jacket, for a walk in the coutryside (in winter it would be the casentino fleece).

    Well, that's a chore jacket truly used as a chore jacket! (unless the owner accidentally washed it with bleach…)

    In 2021 the linen chores were at £495, now £595 (and in EU, thanks to brexit, its 20% more). And that's just the plain ones, last year the tablecloth ones were at 1k€! The jungle jacket has just been restock at 935€, it don't remember it being so high last year. That's crazy.

    Speaking of shirts sizing, does anybody have experience with the (linen) smock shirts?

    No, no! I'm rather skinny, so always between two sizes. I'll end up looking like a scarecrow in my creased linen chore anyway :)

    This is so confusing… usually I'm 36 for linen chores and 38 for winter ones, but the ssense model whose chest is 37" is indeed wearing a 42 😵‍💫 I have the Seatown from 2022 which was also much thinner (almost transparent), if it's comparable I can't see myself wearing it two sizes up… Oh...

    So, how does the Forestiere size? like the linen ones, like the fall/winter ones, differently?

    That I wish but wouldn't necessarily *need* or that I'm not sure are cut for me: their fluffy chalkstripe flannel suits, and some coats (donegal tweed raglan, teddy polo-coat, …). That I regret not buying: the complete collection of japanese heavy linen chores.

    Michael Hill was wearing it last year at a long lunch at St. John. I remember wondering what it was because it never came in the collection.

    I'd love a fun jacket in Japanese heavy linen…

    Quite like you, but I'm sure one size up would be too big for me, so it must be by design.

    Well, well, well, who bought all the ALD/Drakes items already? 🧐

    Just saw a tweet from Derek Guy about P. Johnson. Their website has a Drake's vibe.

    What if they remove the ticket pocket to the next generation of chore jackets? 😱

    What made you (and the other who expressed the same doubt) unsure about buying an artist chore? Except the collar and the chest pocket it's like a regular chore.

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    A major unsolved problem that baffles the mind of the best scientists: the non intra-coherence of sizing. After a few purchases of Drake's jacket, I think they should come up with a system of sizing advice like "this was designed to be worn comfortably over a shirt/jumper/…, it feels like the...

    How does it compare to the casentino chore, in term of sizing/fit?

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    When I ordered the St John butcher's stripes chore I get the french blue one, to do the exchange I had to do a thing online, the link didn't worked, hadn't worker for other customers either, they ended up refunding me and I had to place another order, at a higher price because the pound/euro...
