Estimated 1930s, a black moleskin work jacket.
A special arrival. Pieces from this era in black moleskin are becoming increasingly rare.
The moleskin jacket has become the quintessential French workwear staple.
As its name suggests, it derives from the texture of mole skin—a designation that speaks to the fabric's distinctive character.
When you touch it, you understand immediately: a smoothness, a subtle sheen, and a weight that cotton alone cannot provide.
Black moleskin is rarer still than its blue counterpart, making this piece, crafted entirely in black, something worth considering. Many seek it for its versatility.
Built for workwear, its functional integrity remains uncompromised.
A generously rounded collar, an A-line silhouette, V-pockets—details that have proven their worth over time. The small chest pocket, typical of its era, carries a quiet charm.
Five front buttons.
Inside, an embroidered label in red on black provides an atmospheric detail.
This runs slightly small, accommodating smaller frames without compromise.
The characteristic sheen of moleskin remains, inviting you to enjoy the patina that will develop in your hands over time.
The condition is exceptional for a piece from the 1930s—precisely what those seeking vintage from this era, in excellent condition, are searching for.
Black moleskin of this age in such condition is seldom encountered. If you have been seeking it, this is the moment.
