"Hunting Jacket" is a classic French work item

Although its name is "Hunting," it is actually a piece that combines functionality and formality, worn mainly by upper classes during hunting in France from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century.

In France at the time, hunting was not just a means of living, but was widely enjoyed by the "privileged classes" such as aristocrats, landowners and wealthy factory owners as part of social and recreational activities.
Therefore, this jacket has a background not tailored to work clothes for farmers or ordinary workers, but for people of a chosen class.

At the time, skilled tailors and workshops were scattered throughout France, especially metropolitan areas such as Lyon, Limoges and Toulouse, and until the early 1900s, there were many individuals with custom-made designs that suit the customer's body shape and purpose.

当時は既製品という概念がまだ一般的でなかった為、ブランドによる量産は極めて限られており、タグが付属しない個体も多く、職人の手仕事が随所に宿る贅沢なウェアです。

The fabrics used were also a wide range of materials, such as heavyweight cotton canvas, cotton picket, corduroy, linen, wool and moleskin, were chosen to accommodate the harsh environment of hunting.

They are windproof, durable, and mobility, and while pursuing practicality to withstand use in forests and wilderness, they also have a sophisticated appearance that reflects the wearer's class.

Among the many French workwear items, the "Hunting Jacket" has a distinct purpose and position that is clearly different, making it a masterpiece that is still highly regarded as an unusual presence that combines practicality and formality.

Among the French workwear that is still talked about today, it can be said that there are extremely few opportunities to find a piece of clothing, such as this one.

The first thing to note is the selection of the fabric.
This is an extremely rare item made from "black mole skin" fabric, which can be said to be an unusual hunting jacket.

Speaking of moleskin, it is known as a tough fabric that combines a smooth texture with a brushed feel and wear resistance, making it a French workwear.One of the classics in.

However, in hunting jackets, cotton pickets and corduroy are the mainstream, and there are very few cases using black mole skin.
For this reason, this combination gives off a unique personality as it combines practicality and uniqueness.

The next thing to note is the "traces of the hands" that this jacket emits.

No brand labels such as internal tags are included, and the extremely fine needlework and the distorted sewing lines that are deliberately distorted, give a strong sense of "personal sewing techniques," which are different from mechanical mass production.

In particular, stitchwork shows the unevenness that seems to have been sewn with a focus on purpose, and the clumsy beauty gives it a "human temperature" that never exists in ready-made products.

Furthermore, it is also interesting that the details themselves are highly refined.

The front has four large and small flap pockets on the front, and the back has a game pocket that is typical of a hunting jacket, making it a thoroughly practical construction.

The back of the placket also shows careful edge treatment using "eared fabric", confirming that the fabric from the time woven on an old loom is used.

Furthermore, the traces of repairs that remain in various places tell the time that this piece has passed.

In particular, the hand derning on the side of the right chest clearly shows a "aesthetic sense of repair" that goes beyond practical use, exuding the owner's deep attachment and effortless spirit.

The contrast stitching of the white stands out against the black body, making it a really powerful visual impression.

Scratches, bites, fraying, and button replacement.
All of these things go beyond the value of things and brings this outfit to the persuasiveness of being "proof of life."

A single piece of clothing does not just look just clothing, but also reflects the very activities of people, such as labor, lifestyle and repairs.
This jacket is truly a symbolic presence.

This is a miraculous piece that is formed from a "accumulation and inevitable accumulation" that is never possible in modern products.

This individual is made of "100% cotton" black mole skin fabric.

This fabric combines a silky luster and iron-like sturdy, making it a symbol of French workwear.

The heavy density that can be felt the moment you pick it up, and the smoothness of the moist brushed surface.
The finely woven, high-density twill weave structure blocks out the outside air like armor, but it blends in with your body as you wear it, making it an inextricable material.

The bites and fading that appear over time are the beauty of Black Mole Skin.

The colour isA black color that can also be called jet black.

A black that sinks deep into its tranquility, with a strong core and strong presence.
This color condenses the philosophy and aesthetic sense of the material Moleskin.

In particular, in moleskins that have been around for a long time, the brushed surface rubs slightly, and partially gray appears, creating a gradation that looks like an ink painting painted with a brush.

This "black" is not related to industrial homogeneity.
It is a "growing color" that quietly changes from within yourself as the wearer moves and the accumulation of time.

I cannot confirm the size notation, but I think it falls under the "M" level.

Looking at the actual measurements, it is a golden size that suits the Japanese body type, so I think it can be worn by a wide range of people with a wide range of body types.
It looks great whether you wear it in the perfect size or the oversized size.

There are signs of wear, such as bites, dirt, scuffs, fraying, repair marks, and button replacements that are typical of the fabric, but there is no sign of any major damage that may cause problems with wearing it, so I think it is still possible to wear it.
