Women's Chore Coat
Description
22 December 2025 --- Ralph
We'll complete this preliminary page as soon as we can. Need more photos!
The Women's Chore Coat follows on the popularity of the [men's] South Shore Chore Coat, re-graded for women.
Factory8 is making the Women's Chore Coats now in our [sorry to keep saying!] 100% Non-Superwashed Wool Denim, in Charcoal and Moss Green colors, and in our [also exclusive!] MidWeight Lynx Pattern Fabric. This first run is in sizes XSmall through XLarge. We'll have more sizes and more Fabrics next time out.
It surprises most people, but Denim is a way of weaving, and it is NOT a material. In our case, Denim is 100% Wool ... no cotton at all. All our Fabrics are 100% wool.
We will add photos as soon as we can ... sorry!!
We expect to start shipping in January, but the website is accepting orders now. Anything in current production can be ordered from the website (or phone) now. If you want a Chore Coat and the website is not accepting payment, please hit NOTIFY or please place an ASAP order.
The 100% Non-Superwashed Wool Denim (sorry to repeat but WOW, so many people are CONVINCED Denim means cotton!) Women's Chore Coat is based on the classic French Chore Coat. Although this Chore Coat is very suitable for real work, it's very much also a crossover piece ... semi-dressy to church to casual to gardening to carpentry ... on the same day ... and can handle a wide variety of weather.
Our Jacquard and Denim and the Chore Coat conform to our original philosophy of Hardcore Luxury ... luxurious garments offering hardcore performance. The Denim is soft and comfortable against bare skin, but handles weather and work. And it's tough ... check out this orbital sander test!
The South Shore Chore Coat is offered initially in Charcoal, Moss Green and MidWeight Lynx Pattern Fabric. Next run we'll add more colors/Fabrics.

There is plenty of background information on the Denim Page, but basically only half of the yarn in denim is typically dyed, and the denim weave creates a fabric with the contrasting face and back that has come to be strongly associated with denim.

Our Fabric
Our 100% American, 100% Wool Fabrics, made from 100% WeatherWool Certified Fine Wool, are the foundation of our company. Making our own Fabric is time-consuming, difficult and expensive. But for us, there is no other way.
Denim WeatherWool
Denim is a high abrasion—and tear-resistant weave, making it a staple in workwear. Instead of using cotton, we produce our Denim from 100% WeatherWool-certified Wool. You'll find our Denim to be much softer and cozier than traditional cotton denim.

FAQ
Where is it made?
All of our products are 100% made in the USA using 100% American-made wool and materials. We pay American citizens to make all of our garments. See more.
Is WeatherWool in retail stores?
No, it is only available directly through this Website.
What are your garments designed for?
We set out to make the best All-Purpose outerwear possible and we take that "ALL" part seriously. While some items may be better then others for specific needs we like to think we have the perfect garment for anything you do outside regardless if it is in the serving in military, hunting, camping, city, country, work or worship.
Why is it so expensive?
We never cut a single corner at any step. We make our own fabric, from the best wool in the USA. There are over 45 steps in making our fabric alone. We use the highest quality materials made in the USA. We have owner operated customer service on call to serve you and offer free shipping in USA and Canada as well as hassle free returns.
Is WeatherWool Merino Wool?
Not exactly. Merino is great wool and has been very well marketed over the years but pure merino alone is not actually suitable for us.
We select our wool based on a number of characteristics including micron, strength, length, and comfort factor. With the help of our advisor Bob Padula we have determined the perfect recipe for our goals. Thanks to modern equipment we can test all the wool before we buy it and that wool is primarily coming from Rambouillet and Targhee breeds.
How do you clean WeatherWool
Short answer, you almost never need to. It's self cleaning. We've had garments we've worn for 7 years that have never been cleaned other then some rain.
However, things happen. If a lukewarm bath and dry flat doesn't do the trick, you can try wool-cleaner. Our full cleaning page is here.
Can bugs bite through your fabric?
We have not heard of any that can.
What is your customer service policy?
Our customers will be taken care of.
Full Customer Service policy can be found here.

About us
Founders / Owners
WeatherWool was founded in 2009 by Ralph and Debby DiMeo. Together with their children and a few friends they maintain 100% ownership of the company. Their full story can be read here.
Direct Connection To The Source
We make our own Fabric, starting with raw wool carefully and specifically selected from a small group of ranches in the USA that meet our certification standards. This isn't no stock photo. We're actually out there during shearing sampling wool and sharing stoies and good times with the ranchers and their families.
The Best We Can Figure Out
While most companies decide a price point, and reverse engineer a garment to meet that retail price, WeatherWool does the opposite. We make the best garment we can figure out how to make at every decision we face.Although our garments seem pricey to some our profit margins are below average and you're getting more value for your money and assurance that you're getting some of the best wool in the world.
