"Adolphe Lafont" is one of the most popular French workwear brands.

Adolphe Lafont is a brand founded in Lyon, France in 1844 by Adolphe Lafont, the first peddler.

Initially Adolphe Lafont was a textile shop, but his son ``Adolphe Benoît Lafont'' added a tailor's workshop in 1875.
after thatHe is the son of Adolphe Benoit.Adolphe Lafont" began manufacturing work clothes based on the brand.

The first item we produced was carpenter pants made of corduroy.
He registered the trademark ``Adolphe Lafont Lyon'' in 1896 and passed away in 1952, after dressing generations of workers.

Introducing the "Black Moleskin Jacket", a classic item of French workwear, from Adolf Flaphon, a brand with a history of about 200 years.

The "moleskin jacket" is now a classic French work item.
As the name suggests, it is said that the name came from the texture of the fabric, which resembles the skin of a mole.

When you touch it, you will notice that it has a smooth texture and thickness that makes it hard to believe that it is cotton.

The secret lies in the way the threads are woven.
Moleskin is a fabric made from a method of weaving threads called "satin weave".

Sateen weave is a type of woven fabric (Mihara weave) consisting of five or more warp and weft yarns, and has very little floating yarn.It looks like only the warp or weft is visible.
It is characterized by its high density, thick fabric, flexibility, smoothness, and strong luster.

Moleskin, which is densely woven, thick and has excellent flexibility, is probably why it was used as workwear for people working in harsh environments.

This piece is luxuriously made of black moleskin, which is rarer and has fewer pitches than blue moleskin.
I think many people are looking for it because of the versatility of the black color.

Regarding this individual, the black color unique to black moleskin has faded over time and has changed to a white-gray color.

It was actually used as workwear at the time, so its functionality is perfect.

Regardless of age, brand, or condition, work jackets made of black moleskin are rare items with few pitches.
It would be even better if it was made by Adolf Laphone.

On the inside, you can see an embroidered tag that is only attached to older items, which is rarely seen among Adolphuraphone items.

You probably know that items made by Adolf Frafon are highly regarded in French workwear.
Its value is higher than other brands, and the older it is, the more rare it becomes.

I cannot confirm the size description, but I think it corresponds to "M ~ L" in Japanese size.

Looking at the actual measurements, I think it's a golden size that fits Japanese body types, so I think people with a wide range of body types can wear it.
I think it will look great whether you wear it as just the right size or oversized.

There are signs of use such as fading, stains, scuffs, fraying, small holes, and tears, but there is no major damage that would cause problems with wear, so I think you can still wear it.
If you are concerned about the torn part,We hope that you will continue to repair and use it in the future.

A work brand that has an indispensable position when talking about French workwear.Adolphe Lafont"
Especially when it comes to older individuals, I get the impression that the number of pitches decreases rapidly.

Not only can it be used in your wardrobe, but it can also be used as a collection item. Perfect first place.

A black moleskin jacket made by Adolf Flaphon with an old embroidered tag is a rare and valuable piece, with several pieces arriving each year, so if you are looking for one, don't miss out on this opportunity. .
