In late April, Palantir—a software company widely recognized in recent years for its defense industry contracts and work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)—announced the addition of new products to its merchandise store. The latest offering: a cotton chore coat priced at $239, available in bright blue and black.
The jacket resembles a standard workwear piece that has long been popularized in mainstream menswear, thanks in part to photographers like Bill Cunningham. However, its design draws inspiration from 19th-century French workwear worn by laborers, with only subtle modern adaptations.
