Women's overshirt Buddy Chore Herringbone

This regular fit work jacket offers a smart and spacious design, featuring a chest pocket, a large inside pocket, and two front pockets. The pockets are securely attached with simple seams that create small triangles at the pocket openings, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. The main seams are stitched with double needle stitching, ensuring a clean and sturdy construction. From its silhouette to its craftsmanship, Buddy is our love for simplistic work jackets distilled into one jacket, simple yet beautiful. This Buddy jacket is made from high-quality herringbone twill fabric. Its tightly woven construction gives it a slightly crisp texture, a dry feel, and a smooth appearance. The fabric pattern pays homage to vintage herringbone twills, and to ensure its longevity and desirable aging properties, we’ve piece-dyed it in a lovely shade of French blue. The jacket has undergone a gentle wash, subtly highlighting the fabric's features and the garment's construction. Want to know more about herringbone twill? We’re glad you asked! Herringbone twill is a variation of the classic twill weave pattern. While classic twill, as seen in denim, has a distinct diagonal pattern, herringbone twill consists of broken diagonal lines, creating a visible zig-zag pattern (more pronounced than in a broken twill). The zig-zag pattern, resembling the bone structure of a herring, is compact yet distinctive. Herringbone twill is commonly found in vintage work jackets, particularly those of French and German origin, often in shades of blue or grey. Furthermore, it is well known for its use in vintage military uniforms, often referred to by their acronym HBT. The choice of herringbone twill in work and military clothing can, to our knowledge, be attributed to two main reasons. First, the alternation of the direction of the twill enhances tear resistance. Second, at a time when sanforization and distortion processes were not yet developed, herringbone twill showed a reduced tendency to distort compared to classic twill. This aspect, similar to the goal behind developing broken twill, contributed to its popularity. There you have it, everything about herringbone twill.
