Whether you're a man or a woman, this staple piece of outerwear holds its own in both style and functionality, offering durability, practicality, and a touch of rugged charm.

Workwear Jacket: A Brief Introduction

The workwear jacket, also known as a utility or chore jacket, has a rich history rooted in functionality. Originally designed to withstand the rigors of manual labor, these jackets were crafted from durable fabrics like denim, canvas, and twill, boasting sturdy construction and ample pockets for tools and essentials. Over time, they transitioned from the workshop to the streets, evolving into a symbol of rugged sophistication.

A Wardrobe Essential for Men

For men, the workwear jacket is a quintessential piece that effortlessly combines style and utility. Available in a myriad of designs, from classic denim to waxed canvas, there's a workwear jacket to suit every taste and occasion. Whether you're layering it over a simple t-shirt for a casual look or pairing it with chinos for a more polished ensemble, the versatility of the workwear jacket knows no bounds.

Exploring Styles and Materials

When it comes to workwear jackets for men, the options are endless. Traditionalists may opt for the timeless appeal of a vintage-inspired denim jacket, while those seeking added protection against the elements may gravitate towards a waterproof waxed canvas design. For a touch of rugged elegance, leather jackets offer a stylish alternative that exudes masculinity and sophistication.

A Fashionable Choice for Women

In recent years, the workwear jacket has also found favor among women seeking practical yet stylish outerwear options. With a growing demand for functional fashion, brands have responded by offering a wide range of workwear jackets designed specifically for the female silhouette. From tailored denim styles to sleek leather iterations, these jackets effortlessly marry form and function, making them a wardrobe staple for the modern woman.

Embracing Vintage Vibes

For those with a penchant for nostalgia, vintage workwear jackets hold a special allure. Whether it's the rugged charm of a worn-in denim jacket or the timeless appeal of a weathered leather piece, vintage-inspired designs add a unique touch to any ensemble. Paired with distressed jeans and a classic white tee, a vintage workwear jacket lends a sense of authenticity and character to your look.

Where to Find the Perfect Workwear Jacket

From specialty boutiques to mainstream retailers, there's no shortage of options available for both men and women.

Cuando quieras una prenda de calidad, pregúntanos! Hoy en día, uno asumiría que nuestra chaqueta de punto Buccaneer de 1932 fue una vez parte del guardarropa de un caballero, pero en realidad en la década de 1930 era bastante común usar una chaqueta de punto gruesa mientras hacía todo tipo de deportes, el verdadero trasfondo de nuestras nuevas chaquetas de punto. Para la producción, utilizamos una pesada lana virgen italiana, que es tan gruesa que casi hace de esta prenda una chaqueta de invierno. Nuestros detalles más finos de Pike Brothers de la rebeca Buccaneer de 1932 son los siguientes: - 100% lana italiana - ajuste apretado - botones de cuero real - cuello chal - hecho en Portugal Puedes encontrarla en todas las tallas en nuestra web www.poisonheartclothing.com #pikebrothers #workwear #menswear #jacket #wool #jeans #denim #style #retro #vintage #moda (en POISON HEART CLOTHING) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClieksMg7AR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“I’m wearing Crockett and Jones Chelsea boots, a pair of naval dungaree-inspired pants I made myself, 70s Wrangler western shirt, a vintage Sartoria Pastena Bespoke jacket, and a gold signet ring from new top jewelry, and a pearl earring gifted to me by my brother. The bag is a vintage Coach bag that I bought from a friend at a recent Alfargos! I’m inspired by 1930s and 40s menswear illustrations (apparel arts!) and photos, as well as military tailoring and American workwear.”

I am howling at the sky for the look tonight that Harvey Guillén staked to death, spat on, and made it beg on the red carpet. Instead of just ranting to my queer fashion/fandom retail friends again, I took our collective slobber and tears to outline my plea to the fashion gods.

Why doesn’t this man have a ‘mens’wear line in every American mall? There is a gap in the market for adventurous, queer friendly suiting available through a retailer like Macys/J C Penney. Yes, retail is dying and wedding industry more so, but that’s particular to what’s available for consumers as well. Suiting is turned from off the rack into iconic by proper tailoring, but let me tell you from working all sides of the bridal salon, even up-scale clothing lines are getting rude as hell about quality and assembly to prevent tailoring and longevity.

This kid’s Disney charm would be perfect for introducing a plus size, inclusive line of fashion-forward pieces which include, say a QR code video about taking your own measurements, how adjustments work, with pieces designed to be sleek, with enough allowance for tailoring, and minding the lines in the garment to make the adjustments for plus size bodies easier. It’s no more adjustments than are made on straight size bodies, it’s just straight size bodies have more options to find a line which works with their natural shape.

But in my experience, it’s gender non-conforming folks and plus sized folks who get pushed out of finding pieces they can actually use for celebrations or work, much less pieces with actual personality that spark joy. This man has been killing it for years, really getting some clutch looks for events and invites in the fashion world. He’s showing proof of concept every time he steps in front of a camera.

Watching Harvey’s fashion evolution, I trust his fashion team and judgement to create a mid/high line for workwear to events suiting embracing a gender nonconforming audience. I can’t think of anyone better situated to become the ambassador of a brand with *the* formal wear for queer events and special occasions. I was tickled to see he sells his own merch and hope this experience convinces him of the joy working with artists and connecting their visions to a wanting public, dipping toes into the new ethical, sustainable trends in fashion. His looks alone shows he’s done his homework over the years about timelessness and early adopting trends.

For the years I worked selling/tailoring wedding dresses, there was the prophetic ‘someday… along will come the man who revives men’s fashion for events again’ to save the David’s bridal/men’s wear house lines who keep dropping plus sizes like mine and dying off. As the pet butch in the bridal salon I pleaded to the sky for better suiting options. Add that to my butch lezzy ways and trans masc circle of friends I legit spent this past Friday night drunk in a bar with a seam ripper adjusting jackets and darting pants in an unplanned sewing circle for a bachelorette until it was my round of karaoke. This isn’t the first time I’ve spontaneously started tailoring for the queers, I can’t keep up with the demand! Y’all we are in our twenties to mid thirties there should be better options than this that don’t require a vacation to LA/NY!!

I have ethical, sustainable fashion preferences about slipping in a retailer versus an online brand. But for the vision of accessible clothing to the masses pushing the envelope of the kind of quality only vintage pieces are affording the general public, this is the only celebrity really posed with the image, high energy, and bona fides to be the face of it. His connections in the fashion game are only growing as WWDITS wraps up.

If this man opened a pop-up suiting/fashion shop I’d take my limited time and resources to really dig in to the designers he promoted. I’d be howling in the streets for my celebrants to go get a Gullién. There’s no shortage online pattern makers, but there is a shortage of queer friendly shops to really get pieces that pop and it feels safe to enjoy in a retail environment. For average people wanting to engage with fashion that affirms their identity on their special day, there’s too much fucking compromise. Honestly it’s nice that I have a side hustle sewing to pattern, but I’d give it up in a fucking heartbeat for there to be actually sustainable and approachable options. I wish there was an in between of being ‘affordable’ gnc suiting in an American mall but add plus size availability and it gets sad for your most thrifty, creative friends. Someone needs the step in the gap, and why not someone at the top of the game?

Even if it was just a pop up line every few years, I’d fucking salivate over every image in that catalogue two thousand miles away for what it can teach home sewists just by virtue of curating those artisans with the express goal of queer, fat friendly designs playing together. Just the existence of vintage shops like Proud Mary creates a boom across the inter-webs of new sewists per post. Could anyone really imagine if there were actually accessible stores in key cities/supported by an online catalog with a personable, rising star as the brand face?

Please feed us more fashion, Harvey. Keep those stylists and designer friends close. Please. I cannot stress how many mascs/nb-bebes keep dropping your name every fitting consultation across this nation and it’s for good reason.

FRENCH HERITAGE.

The French brand Fleurs de Bagne has become a favourite of mine. Got the blue jacket at the store L’Usine Bleue in Stockholm. They focus on French heritage and workwear. Don’t think you can find my jacket anymore. But check out their Instagram and web site. A lot of cool stuff to be found, at reasonable princes.

On the pic I’m also wearing an M-51 parka by Real Mccoy’s. Vest from Fortela. Nudie Jeans. And shoes by Lennertson Shoes.

There’s been much discussion around Mr Austin Butler’s continuing embodiment of the king of rock ’n’ roll since his Oscar-nominated performance in Elvis. And while most of it has focused on his vocal cords, we’re much more interested in his 1950s-inspired rockabilly style. It’s clear from the actor’s everyday excursions that he has a soft spot for vintage workwear. From the era-appropriate faded French chore jacket to the distressed light-wash denim and brown leather cowboy boots – his ruff-and-ready summer style has us all shook up. If he takes as much inspiration from his upcoming villainous portrayal in Dune: Part Two, then expect to see him in head-to-toe Rick Owens this time next year

okay since you’re the thrift store expert (imo) - i bought a pair of vintage jeans and they’re a little dirty but I am afraid to wash them. will they be ok in the washing machine?

omg hi i love this, @everyone please send me all of your thrift store questions :’)

okay SO will they survive the washer? yeah, probably. will it be good for the pants? definitely not. i would just spot-clean or handwash.

the number one rule of real denim - like thick 100% cotton denim - whether it’s vintage or not, is that you rarely need to wash them. and when you do wash them, always use cold water on a gentle cycle with very mild detergent or vinegar, and try not to put ‘em in the dryer. line-drying is always gonna be the way to go - the high heat of a tumble dryer, even on its lowest setting, is gonna wear down & shrink the material.

basically, spot clean as needed and only wash them when they are noticeably dirty or start to smell. we wash our denim every 2-3 months, sometimes even less!

this applies to pretty much any garments - especially vintage ones - made with 100% cotton - like canvas (carhartts/most brands of workwear) and t-shirts, denim jackets, etc.

Where/how do I start to get into more complex menswear? I see guys in 80s movies, vintage pics of Harrison Ford, Robert Redford, Kurt Russell, dudes like that, and they all look great, but it's a world I have very little knowledge of. And modern clothing is such ass quality.

Comparatively, getting ripped is pretty straightforward, and working out is something I was working on already. That Rick Owens quote about anything looking good on an elite physique isn't exactly wrong, but I suppose it is a bit reductive. And it's not Rick doesn't dress extremely intentionally lol

Yeah, by all means, work the fuck out. It's good for you in many, many ways -- if you're trying to maximize aesthetics, though, there's a point past which muscle development hurts. If you're a skinnier type you probably won't get there unless you're on the 'roids, but some people with more natural propensities towards bulk aren't so lucky (huge traps will cause most jackets to just float off of you, for example).

Anyway, there's a ton of resources out there if you want to care. If you read French, Stiff Collar and Parisian Gentleman come highly recommended, the latter particularly through their youtube channel, of which an English version exists. It actually has more content than the French version, but I find Hugo Jacomet's French accent in English incredibly grating so I tend to only watch the French version.

Switching to English, Permanent Style is a great blog-cum-website, particularly if you're less of a suit guy: there's a lot of content on how to do styles between workwear and business casual. On the other end of the spectrum, I like much of what Gentlemen's Gazette do, but it's definitely a fairly, shall we say, peacock-focused outlet. Also they're trying to sell you their products, which is always a bit annoying.

Obligatory mention to Die, Workwear. Man is an annoying californian but has solid opinions on clothes.

Finally, there are actual books on the subject. If you want to buy one and only one, get Dressing the Man by Alan Flusser. It's a pretty good guide to many of the accepted principles. Another author worth mentioning is G. Bruce Boyer, by whom I own a small collection of essays called True Style.

In the end, a lot of it is a question of personal experimentation, so if you're so inclined I encourage you to try more things and see what works. Make use of the internet if you live somewhere where you can't easily just visit nicer stores. If you're careful about how you buy, it works a lot better than you might think it does.
