Unlike many things in life, which are, in fact, chores, it is /not/ a chore to go to a shop and look at a sizeable collection of blue cotton jackets. You may see where this is leading: for two days only on sunday may 24 and monday may 25,
@midsectionvintage will present a selection of 48 french and italian chore jackets for sale at
@filter.store on #ebenezerplace.
The jackets have some obvious commonalties: they were originally made as workwear garments, most of them are made from blue cotton fabric of one kind or another (drill, moleskin, etc), and they are all varying degrees of old (broadly speaking, 1960s through 1990s). But there are also differences (in size, origin, cut, details, construction) and presenting a large volume of these things side by side can help draw these differences (often borne out of their different purposes or different manufacturing approaches at different times or in different regions) and also just be a fun and visually satisfying experience. Plus, on a practical level, it means that if you’re in the market for a chore jacket, you can compare 48 or so options, try a bunch on, and have a fairly good shot at finding one that you like!
The popup will run inshop from 11-5pm on both days (once again, those days are sunday may 24 and Monday may 25). Luke from
@midsectionvintage will be inshop to chat chore throughout! (chris from
@filter.store will be there too). Hope to see you there in a couple of weeks!
