It’s a Western take on a French workwear staple.

Most chore coats stick pretty closely to the design originally worn by French railway workers. However, a Texas boot company just proved that there is still plenty of play in the century-old design.

Tecovas dropped a small but heavy-hitting spring collection and the star of the show isn’t a new pair of cowboy boot but a denim chore coat that borrows elements from rodeo shirts and Western jeans.

Cowboy swagger

Tecovas has produced a limited denim collection for a few years, along with some hats and t-shirts, but nothing as ambitious as the new Denim Chore Jacket.

Made from a lightweight denim, the jacket itself boasts triple stitched arm and shoulder seams and metal buttons.

All four pockets have bar tack stitches like the ones found on the back pockets of jeans. The bottom two pockets take the inspiration even further with a spade-shaped cut and decorative signature stitching.

A single rivet is placed at the top of the seam separating the left breast pocket into two sections.

The sleeve cuff is borrowed from the shirts traditionally worn by rodeo competitors. It has a curved yoke shape with two large buttons. On the back is a curved yoke seam like those found on Western shirts.
