Japanese brand Spellbound, straight out of Okayama, bring us this amazing Deck Jacket. Inspired by the USN’s skilled use of denim during world war two, they’ve added a couple of extra details that give this a chore jacket feel alongside its seafaring roots. A neat shawl collar, 4 reinforced pockets, leaf logo donut buttons, 100% cotton, we’re told the denim on this one is exceptional. There have been many repros with this model but without sticking too tightly to the rules Spellbound have created one of the best on the market. Find it at Sivletto.

Believe it or not, we’re not (and never have been) bored of workwear clothing. We’re just bored of all the other mess that comes with it (dullards, people pretending to be experts, coffee). But we still like the clothes, especially pieces like this Carhartt chore coat. It’s not a crazy piece, but it is a crazy facilitator. And by that we mean, it’s so plain that it’s perfect for tempering any crazy shirting/knitwear you have underneath. And the crazier the better. (Caliroots)
