An estimated 1940s blue moleskin work jacket.
The moleskin jacket has become the quintessential French workwear piece.
As its name suggests, it is said to have been named for the texture of mole skin.
Upon handling, you will notice the remarkable smoothness and substantial weight of the fabric—qualities that belie its cotton composition.
Having been used as workwear, its functional integrity remains uncompromised.
It features the sought-after details: a generously rounded collar, an A-line silhouette, and V-pockets.
This is an example with a stitched collar, the type worn by workers in elevated positions.
The interior bears an embroidered tag with considerable character.
The characteristic sheen of moleskin has largely faded, revealing the patina of true vintage.
Among faded moleskin examples, this piece displays particularly refined colour loss.
The sizing runs small, making it well-suited for those of slighter build.
Despite overall fading, the vintage character is exceptional. There are no significant damages affecting wearability, so this remains entirely serviceable.
Blue moleskin of this era is rarely encountered, so if you have been searching for such a piece, this may be your opportunity.
