True story: two years ago, while my wife and I were traveling around Europe, I saw a guy on the street in London wearing a vintage French chore coat that had a hidden button closure, and I thought it was awesome. I then spent the rest of the trip, which also included stopovers in Paris, Amsterdam, and Berlin, scouring every vintage shop I could find, looking for a similar one. But I never found it. Fast forward to a couple days ago, when I open the Kestin Hare website, and what’s there on the homepage, but A HIDDED BUTTON CLOSURE FRENCH-STYLE CHORE COAT. It’s called the Leith, it’s made in Portugal, it comes in two colors, and it’s going to bring my two year search to a very happy end.
