Oversized on purpose. We want this to wear boxier than a standard chore jacket so you have room to move. If you want a regular fit, we'd recommend sizing down. Callum is 6'1" and wears a size 4 (L).

  • Fantastic jacket! Best I've ever had! Already looking forward to the Gardening Jacket.

  • I am very happy with the jacket. It is comfortable, stylish and a good fit for me. My only minor suggestion is that the inner pockets could benefit from a buttoned flap /velcro-type seal, or stud /zip. Otherwise, I am delighted with the product which was also beautifully packaged.

  • One of, if not, the best pieces of clothing I've ever purchased from an independant brand. Phenomonal quality & care.

  • Superb craftsmanship, a lot of care in the details, excellent style, a definitely sharp, class garment. Size is pretty true: if you're an XL, get the XL. This is definitely something that is solid and should last a long time based on thee fabric and it's not terribly expensive for what it is. A small company that, at least for now, you will talk to a principal if you have a question or issue. Don't hesitate. Highly recommended..
