Faded denim chore jacket
A stiff, mid-wash denim jacket cut slightly boxy and utilitarian — the kind worn without irony, not as a fashion statement but as a workman's layer. No embellishment, no distressing beyond honest wear, with a straight hem that sits at the hip. Worn closed or open over a dark shirt, it reads as rural American working-class, indifferent to trend.
