Estimated 1940s. A blue moleskin work jacket.
The moleskin jacket has become the definitive French workwear piece.
The name derives, as the story goes, from the soft texture of moleskin—reminiscent of a mole's fur.
Handle it yourself and you will feel it: a smoothness and weight of fabric that belies its cotton construction.
Born from workwear use, its functionality remains uncompromised.
Generously rounded collar, A-line silhouette, V-pockets—details that have proven their worth.
Inside, a substantial embroidered label carries its own patina.
The characteristic sheen of moleskin has largely faded, revealing instead the quiet character of aged fabric.
Among the many faded moleskin examples we have encountered, this piece displays a particularly refined colour fade.
The sizing runs small, making it accessible to smaller frames.
While showing overall fade, the piece remains free of conspicuous soiling or damage.
Blue moleskin from this era seldom surfaces. If you have been seeking one, this may merit consideration.
