Chore coats were originally worn by farmhands in the early 20th century for working during cold, early mornings. With the Silas Jacket, Brixton combined the utility-driven design of the classic chore coat, with a slimmer and more urban look. A sturdy button-up jacket, the Silas is easy to layer over a flannel when it gets chilly outside, and the canvas material pairs great with just about anything.
