A natural cotton summer jacket, estimated to be from the 1930s.
Deadstock arrival.
A white-toned jacket—rare among French workwear. And in a short length, rarer still.
Given its short length, we initially suspected this might be a cyclist's jacket, though the details remain unclear. True to its designation as a summer jacket, the fabric is notably thin, wearable even in warmer months.
It will prove equally useful as a layering piece through autumn and winter. A white garment like this, introduced into the darker tones that typically characterize the colder seasons, creates a welcome sense of lightness and clarity in one's wardrobe.
The sizing runs small, making it well-suited to those of slight frame. It would be equally becoming on a woman.
As deadstock, its condition is beyond reproach—an ideal piece for those seeking something pristine.
Rare enough that such a piece seldom comes to hand. If you have been searching for something of this character, this may be the moment.
