The Pointer Brand Hickory Chore Coat is a modern version of the workwear worn by our great-grandparents, gear that was designed to be tough and long-lasting – even after years of daily use in some of the hardest work environments in the world.
Each Chore Coat is made from 100% hickory stripe denim cotton, with triple-stitched seams, and four large pockets are fixed to the front. They’re hand-sewn in Bristol, Tennessee by Pointer Brand – who have been making the same designs since 1913.
Ben Branch has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, the official Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
Silodrome was founded by Ben back in 2010, in the years since the site has grown to become a world leader in the alternative and vintage motoring sector, with millions of readers around the world and hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.
