Sears Simpson Wearmaster Early 50s Chore Jacket Comes with an automatic 7005AA super cool, and really rather rare early 50s Sears Simpson chore. Look twice and you'd think this was a WW2 chore with three pockets, and four wreath buttons, but this is from the early 1950s. In 1952 Sears partnered with Canadian brand Simpson to access the Canadian market. I suspect this is from the very early years of that partnership, a US made chore, sold in Canada. A super nerdy piece of denim that looks remarkably like a much earlier jacket.
