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!
