A great chore coat checks so many menswear boxes. It’s workwear, it’s European, it’s timeless, it’s comfortable, it’s seasonally versatile, and the list goes on. It might be the perfect garment, in other words, especially when the chore coat in question is more than $100 cheaper than usual.
The Portuguese-made La Paz Baptista Linen Chore Coat is just $208 at Huckberry right now, a 35% discount from its normal $320 price tag. It’s available in both a dark grey (alluringly named smoked pearl) and navy (non-alluringly named navy) and comes in sizes small through 2XL. Of the five customer ratings, three are five-star and two are four-star. Those customers have written that this coat “looks beautiful and feels great” and has become a “treasured basic piece I’ll enjoy for years.”

Chore coats are fairly simple pieces, which means a lot comes down to the fabric. In this case, it’s 100% pre-washed linen that’s lightweight, durable, and has a natural, broken-in softness. It’s like a technical fabric that’s completely natural, and it’s a triumph, particularly when paired with also natural buttons made of corozo nuts. Five of those buttons line the front opening of this coat, with another placed at each cuff. There are patch pockets—the mark of any great vintage-inspired workwear—on the left chest and lower down on each side.
“This coat looks beautiful and feels great,” one customer wrote. It “has the loose construction of a classic chore coat but the linen is soft and cool,” so it’s “a fantastic layer for hotter days.” They added that they’d buy this coat again, but it seems like such a high-quality garment that they don’t think they’ll need to.

Another shopper added that they “love the construction of this piece and the softness of the material” of this “super soft summery” garment. And that’s a well-informed opinion, as they “tested some other similar pieces and this one was the best by far.”
The La Paz Baptista Linen Chore Coat is built to last a long time, and it has the timeless look and comfortable feel that means you’ll want to wear it for a long time, too. Its longevity means it’s worth full price, so the chance to score one for 35% off is not one to be missed. A few size-color combinations have already sold out, so we’d recommend grabbing yours ASAP.
