Among French workwear brands, it is highly regarded as a famous brand. "Vuicain"

Regarding Vulcan, accurate information about its founder and year of its founding is unknown, but it is a long-established workwear brand founded in the ancient French capital, Lyon. 

"Lyon" is the founding place, and is a sacred place for textiles that have been around since the 17th century.
If we consider that many weavers and craftsmen from all over the country gathered at the time, and the entire city was driven by the power of handicrafts, this brand must have been thoroughly committed to manufacturing.

The brand name "Vulcain" is also known as "Urcanus" (the ancient Roman blacksmith god).VulcanIt is rumored to be derived from "us).".
It is true that Urcanus is respected as the guardian deity of crafts and techniques, and it is clear that he produced sturdy and functional work clothes, worthy of this name, which symbolizes strength and practicality.

From "Vulcain," a historic workwear brand, this is a classic French workwear item. Introducing the "Black Mall Skin Jacket".

As for this individual, this item is made from "Moleskin," a classic French vintage fabric.

As the name suggests, it is said to have been named this because of the texture of a mole's skin-like fabric.

As you can see, it has a smooth texture and thickness that you wouldn't expect from cotton.

The secret lies in the "weave of the thread."
Moleskin is a fabric made up of a thread weaving method called "Red Weave".

The yarn weave is considered to be one of the fabric structures (mihara structures) made up of five or more warp and weft threads, and the threads are very small, andOnly the warp or weft thread appears to be visible on the front.
It is characterized by its high density, thick fabric, excellent flexibility, smooth and glossy.

It is probably because of the highly dense moleskin, thick and flexible fabric, that it was used as workwear for people who work in harsh environments such as workwear.

This individual is a rare item made with a luxurious black mole skin, with a smaller number of balls than Blue mole skin.
Many people are probably looking for it because of its high versatility, which is black.

It was actually used as workwear at the time, so it is also extremely functional.

Regardless of age, brand, or condition, work jackets made from black mall skin are rare items with few balls.
It's even more so if it's made by Vulcan.

It also has a large round round collar, A-line silhouette, arch pockets, and popular details.

A particularly distinctive feature is the "arched" pocket hem, which is symbolized by Vulcan.
This is the essence of Vulcan workwear and is probably why everyone is pursuing it.

Individuals from around the 1950s no longer have an arched hem, so it is only possible to enjoy this detail in individuals of this age.

Although the details are small and different, I personally think that classic items should be paid attention to every detail.

The inside also comes with a black yellow "embroidered tag" that is typical of Vulcan.
Many people are probably looking for an individual with an embroidered tag that symbolizes an older age.

When it comes to items made by Vulcan, they are also highly regarded in French workwear.
Its value is higher than other brands, and the older the age, the more rare it becomes.

I can't check the size notation, butI think it falls in the "M" size in Japanese size.

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 dirt and scuffs, but there are no major damage that can cause problems with wearing it, so I think it's still possible to wear it.

"Black Moleskin" is less available in the market than Blue Moleskin, regardless of age, brand, or condition
In particular, individuals made by Vulcan and with arch pockets are rarely seen both domestically and internationally.

This is a perfect piece not only as a wardrobe but also as a collection item.
This is a special item among the Black Mall Skin Jackets. If you like rare items, don't miss this opportunity.
