I'm always on the search for the perfect chinos. It's a search that may never end, but after looking at these pants online, they might be worth checking out. Made with an 8 oz. brushed cotton canvas and finished with a triple needle stitch, they appear to have a nice cut and come in a nice light tone.

—01. Available in two colors.
—02. 12 oz. canvas.

Words

Keep it simple. When Carhartt does this it usually results in a good product. They've managed to continue to stick to their aesthetic, while adjusting silhouettes and fits to suit most people's wants. This slimmed down painter pant looks nice in both colors.

—01. Digger Coat.
—02. Olive ripstop cotton.

Words

Carhartt's casual range has been steadily improving over the last few seasons, but its hard to get too far away from their classic models. The Digger coat takes on a lighter weight ripstop cotton this spring which looks really nice to me. The mustard of the logo and timeless work coat style works nicely with this fabric and it creates an easy to wear garment.

Carhartt at Union LA

We've been excited to see what Chris Gibbs does with the remaining Union leg since taking over earlier this year. His personal style and taste have left a serious mark in our little world. We will explore more on that in the near future with an in-depth interview and article with Chris coming soon. That said, Chris has managed to wrangle up the first Carhartt Europe Collection account for North America. Union is now stocking a selection of items from the fall offering including these great chambray work shirts. For awhile we've seen the Carhartt Europe line blossom and turn out some great items for good prices. Now we have somewhere to find it in LA. I was excited when Chris told me the news a little while back, but Jake Davis reports on the in-shop stock and reminiscent feeling of visiting Union.

The Chore Coat

One of my favorite items I haven't been able to track down this winter is the chore coat. I've been more looking for a vintage find to capture the essence of the jacket and some pre-wear never hurt. The chore coat can be and has been worn throughout America's history by blue collar workers in engineering, labour, construction and several other trades. It often comes in a denim or heavy canvas with a contrast collar usually in a canvas or corduroy. The rounded pockets are easy to scoop anything out of quickly while the piece has been worn as both lightweight outerwear or an over shirt. While I am looking consistently on eBay and in vintage shops, Supreme actually released a really nice version this winter which is now on sale on their online shop. The chore coat might not be a necessity for everyone but it's a great, versatile piece that will definitely be on mind until it's on my back.
