Black 100% cotton Chore Jacket - Le Laboureur

This version of the Le Laboureur work jacket is now manufactured in Tunisia while retaining the same fabrics, patterns, and standards of craftsmanship that have built the company's reputation. This change makes this iconic garment more accessible without compromising quality, durability, or comfort.

Key Features

• Design:
  • Traditional straight cut with roomy sleeves for ease of movement.
  • Iconic collar chevalier, characteristic of historical work jackets.
  • Fastening with 5 sturdy buttons in black corozo, engraved with Le Laboureur, made by the century-old French company Kocher.

  • Unisex: The most important thing is to measure correctly to get the right size, see the guide below.
    
• Manufacturing: 100% Made in France, crafted in Digoin with predominantly French or European fabrics, respecting French traditions and craftsmanship.
• Fabric Weight: 340 g/m² — heavy, durable, built for years of use.
• Durability: Designed to withstand demanding conditions on construction sites and in workshops, with reinforced seams and anti-wear fabric.
• Versatility beyond hunting: Camp, workshop, farm work, ATV riding, forestry, woodcutting, or simply walking through autumn woods — this jacket works before, during, and long after hunting season.

Size Guide

French sizes are different from North American sizes, SO IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU TAKE THE TIME TO MEASURE YOUR CHEST SIZE in order to choose the right size.

Note:

• The fit is loose, typical of traditional workwear to facilitate movement. For a closer fit, consider sizing down. For example, I am 6'2" (188 cm) and can wear a size 3 for a snug fit or a size 4 for a looser fit.
• To measure chest circumference, wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your chest, under the armpits, keeping it snug but not tight. Lower your arms along your body to take the correct measurement.
