Sure, you’ve seen workwear staples turned into casual garments from flannels and overalls to chore coats and more. But what about the reverse? A cozy casual wear staple reverse-engineered into a hard-wearing, manual labor-friendly garment? That’s exactly what Heat Straps has achieved with their Hardwear Wool Quater Snap.
Taking inspiration from Patagonia‘s famous Snap-T fleece pullover — which, let’s face it, is more popular on the recliner than the rock face —this reinforced homage is less for the couch and more job site-oriented, with the ability to tackle anything you have on the to-do list.
Featuring 26 oz. Hardwear Wool and accented with 10 oz. waxed cotton and solid-brass embossed buttons, this beast could eat its polyester predecessors as a light snack. Each piece is made in the USA and can be worn as an outer or mid-layer.
Available for $380 from Heat Straps.
