Italian Donegal Tailored Chore Coat in Grey Herringbone

I really wanted to love this Todd Snyder chore coat, especially after debating it for a while. At $700 for the coat and $300 for the pants, the $1,000 price tag sets high expectations.

The fit is excellent—I’m 6 feet, 190 pounds, and the small fits perfectly. I’d recommend sizing down. The design is sharp, and I love the concept of the chore suit.

However, the fabric doesn’t quite deliver. I was hoping for a traditional winter wool like you’d find from heritage brands like J. Press, but it feels flimsy, likely due to the polyamide blend. For the price, I expected something more substantial.

While it’s a stylish piece with a great fit, the material quality holds it back. If you’re paying $1,000, you want more than just good looks.
