The Shokunin Chore

Inspired by the Japanese concept of Shokunin — a devotion to craft beyond mastery. This chore coat is cut and sewn in Norfolk, VA from 100% cotton, 13oz (≈440 gsm) natural indigo sashiko ori fabric. Wood buttons. Every detail, from the stitching to the hand-sewn buttons, reflects purpose and precision.
