Overview
Built for cold-weather work, this chore coat is designed to help keep hunters and outdoorsmen comfortable when temperatures drop and the day still demands movement. The washed duck shell, quilted insulation, and hidden knit storm cuffs provide a practical layer of protection, while the drawstring waist, pleated elbows, action back, and side vents support easier wear during active tasks. Storage is well covered with three inside pockets, two chest pockets, and two deep front pockets, making it a solid option for carrying essentials in the field or around camp. It can also be paired with the compatible snap-on hood for added coverage when conditions call for it.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The coat is built for cold-weather chores, so it may feel warmer and bulkier than a lighter work jacket when temperatures are mild or activity levels rise.
- The hood is not included; it is only compatible with the Berne Highland Snap-On Washed Duck Hood, sold separately.
- The drawstring waist, snap-close side vents, and hidden storm cuffs add weather protection, but they also make the fit and feel more structured than an unlined chore coat.
- The washed duck shell and triple-needle construction are work-focused features, but the coat’s rugged build may come with less of a casual, low-profile feel than softer outerwear.
