Estimated 1910s. A German Navy Bourgeron linen smock.
A rare arrival.
Issued to the German Navy during the First World War.
When one thinks of German Navy linen smocks, natural linen or green linen examples come to mind. This piece presents an unusual colour—something akin to green-grey.
A single large pocket sits on the right chest. The design has been stripped back to its essence, reduced to nothing superfluous.
Period stamps remain visible on the sleeves.
The fabric possesses that characteristic used in French workwear—a linen with subtle movement, a gentle give that distinguishes itself. The hand is notably supple.
The atmosphere is substantial. Linen's characteristic vertical and horizontal settling is already evident.
The proportions suggest a natural fit for the Japanese frame, accommodating a range of builds.
Repairs and soiling speak to use. There are no significant damages that would compromise wear.
Examples of this nature rarely appear. Should you have been seeking such a piece, this warrants consideration.
