Chesapeake's in the Pier Paolo Marotta selection
Chesapeake's is one of the American workwear and heritage brands selected for the Formia store, in the same segment as Carhartt WIP, Red Wing Shoes, and Filson. The collection is also reflected in the model names: Fireman and Lumberjack refer to trades, while Seattle and Flagstaff are American cities. The brand's identity lies in the materials stated directly in the garment names: HBT Waxed, nylon, jungle cloth, denim, and velvet.
What is in this collection
The focus is on outerwear: jackets, vests, and parkas, followed by shirts, hats, knitwear, and the pouch bag. Almost the entire selection belongs to Fall-Winter 2026-27, the current season. In the range brought to Formia, outerwear comes first: starting with a vest, jacket, or parka, and completing the look with a shirt. Trousers, including fatigue pants, are not currently part of the collection.
Categories: jackets, shirts, and accessories
Jackets, vests, and parkas
TheDownline is the padded core of the collection. It includes the vestDown Vest Seattle, available in Dark Blue, HBT Waxed Dark Khaky Green, and a reversible denim version; the jacketDown Jacket Lumberjack, in Deep Blue, HBT Waxed Dark Navy, and Army Green; the parkaExpedition Down Parka, in HBT Waxed Dark Orange and Army Green, or in Rescue Red nylon. The difference among the three lies in coverage: the vest leaves the arms free, while the jacket and parka cover them.
Outside the Down range are theFireman Jungle Cloth Jkt Bedford, available in military green and navy blue, and thePeacoat Denim Rinsed, bringing denim to outerwear with a rinsed wash.
Western shirts
The shirt range features theWestern Denim Shirt Flagstaff, in Stone Bleach washed denim, and theWestern Velvet Shirt Flagstaff, in velvet in Military and Tabacco shades. The same Flagstaff family with western styling, crafted in two distinct fabrics.
Hats, knitwear, and pouch bag
Hats, knitwear, and the pouch bag round off the collection. They represent the smaller portion of the selection: the fabric and color for each item can be found on its respective product page in the grid above.
How to choose
From fabric to model
The same models are available in different fabrics, which serves as the primary selection criterion. The Expedition parka comes in HBT Waxed and nylon; the Seattle vest in Dark Blue, HBT Waxed, and a reversible denim version; the Lumberjack jacket in HBT Waxed and Deep Blue. Those seeking a waxed finish can opt for the HBT Waxed versions; those preferring nylon will find the Rescue Red parka; for denim, options include the Peacoat, the reversible vest, and the Flagstaff shirt in Stone Bleach.
Colors
The palette centers on greens and blues: Army Green, Military Green, and Dark Khaky Green on one side; Navy Blue, Dark Navy, Deep Blue, and Dark Blue on the other. Brighter tones are featured on the Expedition parkas in Dark Orange and Rescue Red. Tabacco and Military are the colorways for the velvet shirts.
Fit and sizing
Chesapeake's does not feature a single standardized fit: vests, jackets, parkas, and shirts each have their own cut, and sizing should be selected per individual item based on the measurements provided on the product page. For padded outerwear, it is best to decide on the underlayer first—whether a shirt or knitwear—and select the size accordingly.
Styling combinations
Three combinations derived directly from the collection: the Down Vest Seattle layered over a Western Denim Shirt Flagstaff; the Western Velvet Shirt Flagstaff beneath the Down Jacket Lumberjack; the Expedition Down Parka over a shirt and knitwear. The formula remains consistent: an outer layer, a shirt layer, and a color palette grounded in greens, blues, and earth tones. For footwear, the store offers brands such as Red Wing Shoes and Sebago.
Price
The collection sits in the mid-range tier: the Expedition parkas represent the highest price point, while the western shirts sit below the padded jackets. Updated pricing and availability can be found in the grid above.
