Estimated 1940s blue moleskin work jacket.
The moleskin jacket has become a standard in French workwear today.
As the name suggests, it is said to have been named for its texture resembling mole skin.
Upon touching it, you will notice a smoothness and fabric weight that belies its cotton construction.
Having served as workwear, its functionality is beyond question.
The piece features a generously rounded collar, A-line silhouette, and V-pockets—details that remain sought after.
The placement of the chest pocket lower than usual is characteristic of vintage moleskin from this era.
The waist pockets are positioned asymmetrically, left and right—a rather uncommon detail.
Inside, there is an embroidered label with considerable character.
The lustre typical of moleskin is nearly absent, allowing the faded vintage character to speak for itself.
Among faded moleskin examples, this shows remarkably clean colour development.
The sizing runs small, making it suitable for slighter frames.
While there is overall fading, the vintage presence is exceptional.
There are no significant structural damages affecting wear, and the piece remains ready for use.
Vintage blue moleskin from this period is rarely encountered, so should you be seeking one, this may warrant consideration.
