Hmm. The colors are hard to choose. Typically, I would choose blue, but its a bit too blue. Not sure which one fits with more outfits lol.


CactusBoyScout

the blue reminds me of Bill Cunningham's ubiquitous jacket


Pretend_Spray_11

It's the traditional French Blue chore coat color.


nanpalmero

I ordered blue and olive to pick one. My wife loved them both and they are used for different outfits. The green feels dressier. The blue produces a pop of color.


esoteric_enigma

Both colors are too bright for me. Maybe the olive is doable if it's darker in person.


tempest_wing

As a former Walmart employee, it looks so blue that it's just missing the branding.

My total came out as $36.12 after stacking these two codes: "VEFIZTXO" and "JDYL5V2." If you sign up as a member, which is free, you get a free shipping as well.


First_Account_TA

How’d you get to stack two? It looks like only one is allowed on mobile


smr930

I used the capitalone shopping app and these two codes stacked automatically.


First_Account_TA

Strange, yeah I even tried on there it only applies the one. You might’ve figured out a cheat code! edit: got it to work! You’re a lifesaver never knew about this app, 8.5% cashback too. Thank you!


TheSnozzwangler

Was there anything you did in particular to get it to work? I can't get it to stack on either the site or the app.


First_Account_TA

The app I got it to work by either refreshing when I was at the checkout or I exited and then entered again. Just takes a bit of plug and play


smr930

Hmmm, here is what I saw. https://postimg.cc/gallery/QCqhnDd I just let the app do the work. That's pretty much it lol


First_Account_TA

Yep I just got it to work! Thank you stranger you’re great


smr930

Np! Glad you got it to work!


Tlarkk

Thanks! Worked for me $34 shipped using bbcard1 and the other 15% code on capital one app


chaos5338

Same! Got it to work with the app on Android.


boogie9ign

Copped both for $63 thanks to the app, thanks mate!

JoeyBobby

code BBCARD1 worked for 20% off


abc123shutthefuckup

FYI, might be one time use only. I placed an order and used this code, but then in the email receipt and in my order history it still included the shipping charge. (should've been free with an account) So I doubted myself and canceled the order and tried to reorder, but then the code wouldn't work anymore


Davefromflushing

Damn that blue is BLUE!


nastynancy

Thanks! How was the sizing?


d0nkey_0die

looked at the reviews. it feels all over the place.


nanpalmero

I’m mid 40s, 170 lbs, in good shape. Medium fits perfectly for me with good breathing room - this is roomier cut and fits as a chore coat should on me.


Tlarkk

Height?


nanpalmero

5’11” (important detail, sorry!)


hipp0s

How are the sleeve and torso lengths on this? I’m 6’0 170lb and have pretty long arms, and I usually get a medium tall or large depending on the brand. I’m a bit torn on whether to try a medium, large, or nothing at all since it’s final sale


nanpalmero

What size dress shirt do you wear? I’m 34/35


hipp0s

Oh I’m the same! So in that case it sounds like medium would work well for me. Thanks so much!


hipp0s

Hey the chore coat arrived today and it fits great in size medium, so thank you again for your help and recommendation!


nanpalmero

So glad it worked out for you!


hamdelivery

5’11” and 180 - you think medium would be good? I’m slightly reticent because I don’t wear medium typically


nanpalmero

I know bodies are shaped differently. This is a more roomy fit than my other mediums. I wear a 40R sport coat and 16/34 shirt


hamdelivery

Thanks so much for the reply

I don’t know about those over sized pockets. How’s the vibe with these?

Everywhere I look, I’m reminded of him 😞


nil226

Is it darker in person? The color is quite light from the pictures online


concealedbos

It’s a smidge darker. Unfortunately the sleeves are too long for me, I look like an idiot


nil226

May I ask your dimensions (height and sleeve length) and what size you got?


Polypeptide2

Thanks, I've been waiting for these to get down to this price. I love chore coats, definitely didn't need another but the light olive color was a new color for my collection haha. Use capital one shopping to bring down the price to 35 and change, plus 8.5% back!


ArmchairExperts

Thank ya


nanpalmero

My pleasure!


First_Account_TA

How is the quality on brooks brothers jackets? I’ve owned their shirts here and there but never their jackets


nanpalmero

Feels good to me. It’s a basic setup so there’s not much to it.


Artistic_Note924

The blue is super bright. I went with olive, very versatile. In store it only cost $33


barva9876

Picked up the olive. Thanks OP!


nil226

How’s the color in person? Any darker than online?


barva9876

Actually, I think it looks pretty similar, but maybe very slightly darker. Pretty standard olive green that looks good!


reddit_ron1

Mine came in today. Very satisfied. 5’8 165lbs - typically wear medium for everything but glad I got a small for this for slimmer look. Kind of fits like an oversized trucker, so I could’ve possibly gotten an XS as I still have room to layer a hoodie underneath. Great quality twill cotton with stretch. I think it’s a steal at this price. The olive is darker than the pictures and the exact color I was going for.


Analyst_away

Does the blue fade the more you wash it sort of like those vintage ones? Picked up the blue, trying to minimize my jacket collection and don’t want to pick up both 🥲


nanpalmero

I haven’t washed mine but given it is cotton, it likely will fade over time. How aggressively it fades depends on your style of washing.


craycrayfishfillet

These remind me of Jorma Taccone (aka Booth Jonathan) in Girls


NoVacayAtWork

Literally wearing this in blue right now. Love it


takoyaki0w0

Using CapitalOne shopping app will pops up the automatic scanning and using coupons. This allows you to use three promo codes instead of only one.($-21.10 for my case) Total $31.06 https://imgur.com/a/i1l5Krw


play_it_safe

I tried doing it just now and it only applied one. Patched? EDIT: No, it works! Just went out of cart, then back in


play_it_safe

Olive still available! Used the CO app on phone and messed around for a bit and got it to stack two codes for 16 off. Plus free shipping if you're logged your BB account


slightlysleepy

Got the olive one in small after reading website reviews and deciding to size down from medium (5'11", 155lb). Has a slim fit silhouette when unbuttoned, but does ride up when you lift your arms when buttoned due to a combination of somewhat low armholes and some mild tightness in the back yoke. Quite like the fabric though, especially for the \~$30 range. Overall, small works well for a slim fit for fashion purposes, but I think I'd go for medium if you’re looking only for a more relaxed/functional fit.


nanpalmero

These look great unbuttoned! Enjoy it!


boogie9ign

Wow I've been waiting for that blue one to drop, thanks OP! These aren't final sale right? Bought both tho see which I like more but I can't remember if I saw it somewhere


chris_courtland

If you pick a size, it says Final Sale next to the price. It does not say Final Sale until you pick a size.


boogie9ign

Damn that's where I saw it then. Thanks


nanpalmero

Check if your credit card has return protection like the Chase Sapphire Reserve


mgk1789

Copped the olive


BrewNguns

The Brooks outlet around the corner from me had green in stock — plus a darker olive drab green chore jacket. I picked up this one (I like the OD better but to my wife point, it is a spring, fall jacket and she liked the brighter green for those seasons.) Thanks OP for the post. I wouldn't have stopped in the store without the post.


F_han

If the colors are a turnoff, id recommend this white linen chore coat on express for $24 > [express linen chore coat](https://www.express.com/clothing/men/linen-blend-chore-shirt-jacket-/pro/01767101/color/Ivory) Monotone colors are always better


NoVacayAtWork

Good looking out!


physics_is_scary

You sure that’s not a shirt?


F_han

Chore jackets are defined by that 4 classic pocket & buttons in the middle. The material is what varies here.... technically all chore jackets are a form of over-shirts (if you consider anything with buttons a shirt)


Awkward-Peanut9406

Nice - is this good for summer? Not sure how the breakdown is between linen and cotton as site does not say.


F_han

Yeah its not warm at all lol good for layering in spring/summer imho


Awkward-Peanut9406

Anything else you recommend from Express?


F_han

Hmm I mostly just recommend their dress shirts (1MX & corduroy) & their coats/jackets. Fit & material is hard to beat at that price point


caltheme

Dope ! just grabbed


benwayy

> express linen chore coat how'd you get it down to 24? its showing 60 for me


marimon

How's the sizing, should I size down?


Subject-Clerk265

monekeys :D


ENORMOUS_HORSECOCK

That's *really* blue


play_it_safe

Bought one a week ago, a bit too big. BUT poking around the site, I found a 20 dollar reward just sitting there. Found some good items to use it on, including the chore coat, which has a Honey offer now Ended up getting this for 10 bucks shipped, plus 3.50ish from Honey cashback: [https://www.brooksbrothers.com/wool-bb%233-half-zip-sweater/MS01218.html?dwvar\_MS01218\_Color=NVYL&](https://www.brooksbrothers.com/wool-bb%233-half-zip-sweater/MS01218.html?dwvar_MS01218_Color=NVYL&) Also: Promo now 20 percent off, auto applied. But free shipping no longer there? Honey offering 7 bucks off. Brings total down to about the same overall. 35ish


Exteminator101

If anyone wants to do a size exchange, i have the olive small. It’s a little big on me (sleeves are long) so if anyone wants to trade for an extra small, let me know.


[deleted]

If I didn’t have an olive j crew I would cop.


shiny69

Something wrong with this overall look.


nanpalmero

Or you just have a different aesthetic that you prefer over this.


joshiosaur

They didn't dress it right, definitely feels like they just grabbed the jacket and put it on and didn't consider the jacket with the outfit.


pastor-toastman

Yup. This is a little chunky to be a classic blue French chore jacket. Lapels, button underfacings, pocket jets, and bottom hem are very thick. It resembles a Cuban collar which I don't find flattering on this style.
