Traditional chore coats were built for heavy manual labour, but the Taylor Stitch Ojai Jacket in Washed Indigo Corduroy ($248) suggests your hardest task today is deciding between a flat white and an espresso. Cut from velvety organic cotton corduroy washed down to a rich indigo shade, it pairs classic French workwear geometry—like dual-entry patch pockets and ring-back horn buttons—with immediate, lived-in comfort. It is rugged enough to look like you restore vintage motorbikes, yet soft enough for Sunday afternoon lounging.
