Workwear is more than just clothing; it’s a reflection of the times, embodying the professions and personalities that shaped its evolution.

From the wide open plains to bustling industrial hubs, these styles have been the reliable uniform of workers who needed clothing that could—like their wearers—endure the rigors of the day and come back ready for more.

That “function-first” design ethos survives today in our rugged Chipped Canvas line. Drawing on the most iconic elements of heritage workwear—like double-knee pants and canvas jackets—these styles are built to take no days off, and pick up character with every job done.

What is Chipped Canvas?

It’s taken years of tweaks and refinements, setbacks, and successes to arrive at a workwear fabric that checks all of our boxes. We call the fruits of our labor Chipped Canvas. It’s a heavyweight 100% organic cotton canvas that’s double-dyed for rich color and stone-washed for a perfectly worn-in feel right from the start.
