At first glance, it looks like a perfectly broken-in chore coat that might have spent decades hanging on a workshop peg. Then you notice the scale, and the charm of this remarkable Double RL collectible comes fully into focus.
Inspired by the miniature garment samples once carried by traveling salesmen in the early twentieth century, this limited-edition RRL Mini Chore Coat captures everything collectors love about classic American workwear in a beautifully reduced format. Though small in size, it loses none of the character of the original.
Constructed from substantial 12.75 oz. Japanese denim, the coat features a rich turquoise-indigo cast that gives the fabric depth and warmth. Its design draws heavily from work jackets of the early 1950s, an era when utility and durability were woven into every stitch. Double-needle construction reinforces the seams, while the tailored fit through the chest and waist mirrors the proportions of its full-sized counterpart. Even the denim has been sanforized to minimize shrinkage, reflecting the same attention to detail found in authentic RRL garments.
The details are especially satisfying. A classic point collar, buttoned front placket, long sleeves with buttoned cuffs, and three patch pockets create the unmistakable silhouette of a vintage chore coat. American-made metal buttons add another layer of authenticity, while the interior “RRL & Co” label serves as a reminder that this is more than a novelty piece. It is a carefully executed tribute to the craftsmanship and history that define the Double RL line.
Measuring roughly 11” high by 9” wide, the coat comes displayed on a custom stand and is accompanied by its original hand-numbered presentation box. Limited to just 200 examples, each piece occupies a fascinating space between fashion artifact, advertising sample, and collectible object.
