  • Button-up front
  • Pristine white 
  • Three front pockets
  • Not at all passe chore coat 

Use cases 

  • Studio and paint work: White work coats have a long history as painters’ studio wear, and one celebrated New Zealand painter, who taught at Auckland’s Elam School of Art from 1927 to 1962, used a white lab coat as her artist’s smock. This jacket fills the same role for painters, potters, and woodworkers who want a coat that protects their clothes and can take a beating. Ghost vibes? 
  • Hot-weather job sites: Professional painters favor white partly because white surfaces reflect heat, which helps keep the wearer cooler. That makes this a practical light layer for house painting, drywall, and outdoor trade work in summer, when a duck canvas jacket would be too heavy.
  • Kitchens, workshops, and messy hobbies: The lightweight fabric and simple cut make it an easy cover-up for home brewing, butchering, gardening, or shop work. White cotton can be bleached back to clean after a messy day, so stains don’t have to be permanent.
  • A blank canvas for customizing: A plain white jacket is ideal for fabric painting, dyeing, patching, or sashiko style mending. Many buyers want a cheap, sturdy base for a one-off piece, and this is exactly that.

Curious About Sizing?

Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

 

Jacket & Shirt Sizing

In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

14"-15" PtP = XXS

16-17" PtP = Extra Small

18"-19" PtP = Small

20-21" PtP = Medium

22-23" PtP = Large

24-25" PtP = Extra Large

26-27" PtP = XXL

28-29" PtP = 3XL

Pant Sizing

We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
