The Calico Chore Coat

A wearable heirloom, handcrafted from a genuine vintage quilt.

Inspired by the simplicity of traditional workwear, the Chore Coat brings a little history and a lot of character to everyday dressing. Each coat is thoughtfully handcrafted from an authentic vintage quilt, giving new life to beautiful textiles that deserve to be enjoyed for generations to come.

With its relaxed, easy-to-layer silhouette and vintage-inspired styling, this is the kind of piece you'll reach for season after season. Wear it while tending the garden, running errands, or enjoying a slow afternoon at home. It's equally at home layered over your favorite denim and tee or paired with a simple dress.

Handmade in my Alabama studio, every coat is a one-of-a-kind piece with its own colors, patterns, and history.

No two coats will ever be exactly alike.
