Meet the Bertie Chore Jacket

Our chore jacket has its roots in traditional farm workwear — clothing made first and foremost to be useful. Hard-wearing, uncomplicated and comfortable enough to work in all day, it was designed for the realities of life outdoors.
Its generous pockets carried the tools and everyday essentials of the job, while a simple, practical cut allowed for movement and layering as the weather changed. Nothing was added without purpose. It was clothing made to work hard, to be repaired, worn again and passed on.
That practicality is what draws us to it. Living and working on the land, we wanted to return the chore jacket to the environment where a piece like this feels most at home — thrown on for feeding the animals, working in the fields or heading out on a cold morning.
Our version takes its cues from traditional farm clothing: functional, enduring and made from natural materials that become better with age. A working jacket in the truest sense — rooted in the land and made to be lived in

Oversized yet functional — ready for every season. Designed to sit comfortably over our knitwear or your favourite pieces.
