[SCYE BASICS] Cotton Duck Chore Jacket

A sophisticated chore jacket that transcends workwear

SCYE BASICS Chore Jacket

This chore jacket is a highly refined piece that brilliantly fuses the functional beauty of workwear with the sophistication of tailored clothing.

It's more than just a coverall; it's "workwear that stands as a proper jacket."
The design philosophy of SCYE BASICS is evident throughout.

Deep Understanding of Fabric

Perfection of Original Cotton Duck Fabric

Generally, duck fabric is stiff, rugged, and takes time to break in.
However, SCYE BASICS overturns this common perception.

Their tightly woven plain-weave original cotton duck offers:
・High durability
・Resistance to abrasion and shape retention
・Inherent flame retardancy and wind resistance

While firmly maintaining workwear-derived functionality, it achieves a moist softness and elegant texture.

This is due to the exquisite balance of weave density and finishing process.
It's a finish only possible for a brand with a comprehensive understanding of fabric.

Material Characteristics and Aging

The 100% cotton natural material conforms to the body with repeated wear,
allowing you to enjoy beautiful aging as its character gradually changes.

During seasonal transitions in spring and autumn, the wind resistance of the dense plain weave provides comfort,
offering practical use over a long period.

Tailoring Technique Praised by Tailors

Collar Design with Tailored Sensibility

Instead of the linear collars found on traditional chore jackets,
the collar has been re-engineered to open naturally like a tailored jacket.

This achieves:
・A shirt collar that sits beautifully
・Good compatibility with ties and scarves
・A sense of dignity despite being workwear

— thus attaining tailored perfection.

"Functional Beauty" Created by Corduroy Color Scheme

Dark navy-like black corduroy is placed on the collar and cuff linings.
This is not merely decorative,

・It enhances the collar's stand
・It prevents wear on the cuffs
・It provides a visually slimming effect

This is a specification that combines practicality and beauty.
The intelligence characteristic of SCYE is also felt in the sense of color combination.

Silhouette Perfection

While retaining a rugged feel,
the slope of the shoulders, the spaciousness of the body, and the balance of the length are meticulously calculated.

It maintains the inherent casualness of workwear,
yet elevates it to a silhouette that "doesn't look sloppy" the moment you put it on.
Here, the philosophy of tailoring is strongly reflected.

Detail Consideration

Practicality of Front Pockets

The large flap pockets secure enough capacity to store
notebooks, smartphones, and small items.
They also reliably fulfill their original role of preventing items from falling out.

Left Chest Logo Plate

The understated logo plate, which isn't overly prominent,
quietly conveys brand identity
without compromising the overall refined atmosphere.

Styling Suggestions from the Tailor

From Casual to Jacket-Like Appearance

Of course, it's a classic style with denim or chinos,
but paired with slacks, it functions perfectly as a jacket.

For innerwear,
it accommodates a wide range from white shirts and oxfords to turtlenecks.

Layering Performance

With a moderate amount of room,
layering with thin knits or vests also looks natural.
It can be worn for a long season, from early autumn to early spring.

Versatility of Cinnamon Color

The cinnamon color, situated between beige and brown,
pairs well with blue denim, beige chinos, and gray slacks.
The contrast with the dark corduroy is also beautifully calculated.
