1102-03W - Engineer's Jacket Hickory Stripe - Indigo Worn Wash

The #1102 is the second coverall Post O'Alls ever drew, and it landed in the brand's first collection in 1993 with a clear brief: build the deluxe 1930s coverall, the version with every detail left in rather than cut out for cost. Four pockets, the full set of trimmings, and a shape taken straight from the stretch when American industrial clothing was at its peak. It worked well enough that the design has been copied around the world for three decades, which is its own kind of verdict. This run is a reissue that brings back the original 1993 green label with it.

A note on the cloth. Post calls it hickory, the way almost every striped work fabric gets called hickory, but what is actually on this jacket is express stripe, a separate pattern from the same era with a different arrangement of lines and a lot less airtime in reproduction. It shows up on vintage pieces through the 1930s and rarely since. The finish is a worn wash that puts years on the indigo before it reaches you, so the depth and the broken-in character are already there and the jacket starts where most start after a long run of wear.

Fit Notes: As with most Post O'Alls fits, these are on the roomier side. From a majority of Japanese brands, Tommy is not able to wear mediums...but this fit with even a little extra room. For us, that is the intended fit of the brand and how we would choose to wear nearly every piece. The arms have extra room and the body is the perfect size to be able to layer one of their other tops underneath. We would recommend sticking with your true size unless you're looking for a trim fit, then you may consider sizing down. Tommy is 5'9," 160lbs with a 41" chest.
