""IMO, a company claiming to champion the US should've done an US chore coat. Historically, US chore coats were made from denim or duck canvas, and had four pockets instead of three... Yours takes after brands like Vetra and Le Labourer, which are French.""
""The thing that seems so crazy-making to me about this is that Palantir is so America-rah-rah but they chose to make their jacket after traditional French chore coat instead of an American one?? I imagine they just don't even know what they're referencing?""
""Three sewn on patch pockets get the job done and keep costs lower. don't need to add a bunch of zippers and flaps and clutter up the piece. it's pure.""
Palantir's head of strategic engagement, Eliano A. Younes, announced a new chore coat made in America, which will be available for sale on April 30. The coat's design has drawn criticism for not adhering to traditional American styles, with some users questioning the choice of a French-inspired design. Younes defended the coat's design, emphasizing its stylishness and comfort for employees. The controversy highlights the intersection of tech companies and fashion, raising questions about cultural representation and branding.
