Anatomy of the Chore Jacket

Built to outlast

One jacket for the boardroom, the workshop and the bush. Cotton canvas, metal hardware, seams that outlast the fashion cycle.

  • What makes it specialOffice to veldA clean spread collar and a straight hem. It sits flat under a blazer and still looks right over a t-shirt in the bakkie.
  • The materialHeavy cotton canvasA tight, dense weave that shrugs off thorn, grease and weather, then softens into your shape with every wash.
  • How it's madeMetal shank buttonsNo plastic, no snaps to fail. Sewn through on a thread shank so they sit proud of thick fabric and never pull through.
  • Why it's reliableRiveted stress pointsBrass rivets at the corners of the hip pockets, where a loaded pocket tears a lesser jacket first.

  • How it's madeTwin-needle felled seamsTwo rows of topstitching down every load-bearing seam, so there is no raw edge inside to fray and no single thread holding it together.
  • What makes it specialThree patch pocketsA squared chest pocket for a phone or notebook and two deep hip pockets. Everything you carry, nothing that rattles.
  • Why it's reliableMade for lifeThe woven label is the promise: wear it out, don't throw it out. Hard-wearing, multi-seasonal, deliberately made.
  • How it's madeButton cuffRoll it for the workbench, button it down against the cold. Reinforced placket so the cuff edge is the last thing to go.

Ridgeback Apparel · Since 2018

Unfailing goods for city & bush.

Born out of the contrast between the rugged outdoors and city style, we have a passion for high quality goods that are versatile and well-made, with attention to detail. We love beautifully constructed, robust and hard-wearing garments that serve numerous purposes and fit seamlessly into a multitude of different lifestyles.

For those days where you need to be hands on and unafraid of getting down and dirty, for the days spent working in the office, or the more relaxed days going to the market. By combining all these life aspects, our products have been made to fulfil those roles.

With our passion for deliberate, well-crafted products, we can begin to turn away from fast fashion and back to excellent quality, multi-seasonal items. This is what our clothing is all about. Ridgeback is the brand that is made for life.
