We’ve found the jacket built for the man who genuinely looks good covered in sawdust and philosophical angst. The Imogene + Willie x Giovanni Ribisi Quilt Lined Washed Denim Chore Coat (£467) is the pinnacle of denim that doesn’t care about trends.

This collaboration jacket started with a simple goal: make a coat so relentlessly utilitarian, it stops focusing on its killer wash and starts focusing on its destiny. Constructed from robust 13oz broken twill denim and finished with a piece-dyed Japanese cord collar and real horn buttons, this coat is built to accrue character, not compliments. Patterned, cut, and sewn in the USA, this isn’t fast fashion—it’s slow, deliberate armour for a life of honest work (or just looking like you could do honest work).
