Le Laboreur Chore Coat
Hello, I've got my heart set on picking up a chore coat in french blue from either Le Laboreur or Le Mont St. Michel, and they're seemingly pretty hard to locate new. I guess this is a question of personal preference, but I'm wondering what people think about the "stonewashed" variant Gardenheir has on preorder right now. I don't know how the moleskin wears, like if I can expect it to get a similar patina pretty quickly anyway, or if it's just not what I have in mind so I should hold out. I guess my raw denim roots have me somewhat skeptical of anything 'prewashed'
Curious on any opinions from people with experience with these chore coats. Thanks!

Inspired by our third year anniversary, and three years of wearing their classic chore jackets, we teamed up with Le Laboureur to create this only at Gardenheir patina by stone...
