Ye Olde Chore Coat

Thought I'd share this with everyone.  This is my trusty chore coat (didn't realize that what these were called until G came around) that I have had for 10-15 years.  I bought it on super duper clearance at Marshall Fields in the late 90s/early 2000s.  It's made out of a fabric that I have never seen anywhere else . . . it has a coarse velvet type feel to it.  It's kind of a mix between a non-linear corduroy and a velvet.  I love this thing, but sadly after losing 60 lbs a few years ago, it fits me pretty (really) big.  Still, I love it, and break it out all the time.  It pairs perfectly with a casual button down and jeans.  The perfect fall jacket.

I'm hoping the G Italy Brown X Black basket weave chore coat will make me as happy as this one has, and fit a little better.
