Estimated 1930s cotton piqué double-breasted fireman jacket.
A truly exceptional piece has arrived.
Remarkable for its use of piqué rather than conventional fabric on a fireman's jacket.
The colour is equally striking—a deep, layered navy reminiscent of eggplant, with considerable depth.
Having examined countless French workwear pieces, this was our first encounter with such a specimen.
The double-breasted configuration adds further distinction to an already exceptional piece.
Double-breasted construction alone—buttons arranged in two columns—carries considerable rarity value.
The collar emblem and fireman-specific hardware remain original throughout.
The sizing runs compact, making it accessible for those of smaller build.
As a special piece, it merits consideration as a collection cornerstone.
Surface patina and age-appropriate wear are present, though free from significant damage. The condition is notably clean for its era.
This is not an item that money alone can procure, nor can future arrival be assured.
A genuinely rare piece. Should you be seeking such a garment, this opportunity warrants consideration.
