Estimated 1940s Le Mont St. Michel black moleskin work jacket.
A special arrival.
The moleskin jacket has become a cornerstone of French workwear.
As the name suggests, it is said to derive from the texture of mole skin itself.
Upon handling, you will notice the fabric possesses a smoothness and weight quite unlike typical cotton.
Black moleskin is considerably more scarce than its blue counterpart. This piece utilizes it generously. Given its versatility, it is sought after by many.
Having served as workwear, the functionality is beyond question.
Work jackets in black moleskin, regardless of brand or condition, remain scarce and highly sought. And those bearing the Le Mont St. Michel label even more so.
Le Mont St. Michel examples with the popular embroidered tag are particularly coveted.
Generously rounded collar, A-line silhouette, and V pockets—all details of proven appeal.
Five front buttons.
Embroidered tag on the interior.
The characteristic sheen of moleskin has softened with time and wear, yielding a fading that carries considerable character.
Free of significant damage that would impede wear. Entirely wearable.
This garment fits what we consider a golden size for Japanese proportions, accommodating a range of builds.
This is not something money alone secures, nor can future availability be assured.
A black moleskin jacket from Le Mont St. Michel with an embroidered tag arrives perhaps several times per year. A piece of considerable rarity. For those seeking it, not to be overlooked.
