The world of boots has a lot of sub-categories and then there are the SUB-sub-categories like World War service boots, midwestern work boots, and then the Pacific Northwest boots: meaty monsters typified by big heels, stitchdown construction, and multiple midsoles.

Factories and brands are being revamped or bought out as the market's thirst for sustainable apparel and fresh approaches grows and grows. Momotaro is a favorite in the space, known for their pink seams, Zimbabwe cotton, and hairy fabrics, but they've recently experienced a big brand refresh as they try to stay competitive in the bustling marketplace of high end selvedge. What's the new Momotaro making waves with? Some compelling new dyeing methods (like formulas laced with cherry blossom) and this, the most eye-catching: denim woven with silk.

With origins in 19th century France, in this video I'm styling the two most influential chore coats: Mont St Michel (French!) and Taylor Stitch (modern!). Also there's a cream one from Wellen but it's probably discontinued, also a wool one from Flint and Tinder if you want an example of one that's easier to dress up!00:00 Intro00:45 What's a chore coat01:59 the best color for chore coats2:18 workwear outfits02:52 slimmer workwear 04:56 smart casual 06:38 modern casual08:00 Luxury chore coats
