Monty Don Black Chore Jacket
Presenting the Monty Don Black Chore Jacket—an enduring layer born of thought and quiet grace, merging rooted craftsmanship with gentle authority. Drawn from our admiration for Britain’s beloved gardener, the silhouette is cut for ease and for the attentive pace of daily tending. Sturdy cotton twill holds its outline without losing the breath of a cool breeze, shrugging off sudden weather without fuss. Above a plain, smart button line, two wide patch pockets wait, patient and generous, for clippers, sketchbooksor the small surprises a garden offers when you linger. The colour, a profound and even black, carries a calm composure, moving without effort from damp glasshouses to still galleries. Straight edges and an unbroken hem keep it neat, while the collar, gently shaped, recalls a craftsman’s jacket without shouting.
Every feature speaks to a life measured and attentive: cuffs that fold up and stay, a cloth that grows softer with the years, and seams that join usefulness and grace without ornament. Whether you are tame the last climbing rose or wandering unplanned beside a path of shade, the jacket walks beside you, each thread steady and sure. Unpretentious, lasting, quietly persuasive—this garment does not conceal; it uncovers the calm strength that garden and gardener share.
