LEE Men's Chore Coat. The Chore Jacket (a.k.a., the 91-J) was originally designed as a workman's overcoat to pair with our bib overalls, which became the unofficial uniform of railroad workers. This jacket's style has transcended from workwear staple to contemporary street style with the form and function you love. BRAND HERITAGE: Just like our founder, H.D. Lee, our passion is helping can-do people do more. We are committed to designing clothing that conforms to your body, allowing you to move through life freely. We help you chase the things that bring you joy and laughter. The things that make you fearless and hopefully because your passion is what makes you unique. And what moves you, moves us. Move your Lee.
