Size Chart for Nat's Chore Coat
How to find you size: Wrap a tape measure around the fullest part of your chest (under your arms) while wearing only a t-shirt. Add 20cm/7.8 inches to your chest circumference. Compare this measurement to the garment chart below. Choose a size whose chest measurement corresponds to your chest circumference +20cm(+7.8 inches)
E.G.: Model is 104cm(40.9 inches) in chest circumference, which corresponds to a EU size 52. With 20cm added, the needed chest circumference is 124cm(48.8 inches). The recommended size is L.
Please consider the fabric used is a hard wearing canvas and should fit you oversized.
Length alterations for sleeve and body length are available for free.

Single-handedly manufactured in Berlin
Everything is done in our own studio, from designs and drafts, pattern developing and prototyping to the actual manufacturing of every single piece of clothing. Every piece is cut, sewn and dyed by one maker only based on your unique specifications and gets a brand tag with your name, your size and the date of production.
After Dye
Before DyeIN-HOUSE DYEING
Garment Dyed
We dye every single piece by hand after it is sewn together. This process is called garment dyeing and leads to a unique result. The dye washes have different effects on the fabric, depending on the colour.
Black comes out in a lush black with a velvet like shine that has a slightly formal appeal to it.
Blue develops out in slightly irregular shading, catching the light differently across the surface -like dusk reflected on petroleum. Each piece shows slight variation in tone and reflection, making every garment subtly unique.
Persistence vs Change
Deep black stays black. Petroleum blue evolves.
The black dyeing process involves a fixing agent, that supports the fight of the black garment against time and wear.
The Petroleum blue dyeing process is kept natural. The evolution of time and wear is accepted, welcomed and proudly worn. The garment presents its marks and blemishes like a journal, worn on your skin.
