"Adolphe Lafont" is one of the most popular French workwear brands.

Adolphraphon is a brand founded in Lyon, France by the first merchant Adolf Lafon.

Originally an adolfraphon, a textile shop, his son, "Adolf Benoit Laphon," added a tailor's workshop in 1875.
after thatHe is the son of Adolf Benoit.The company began manufacturing work clothes based on "Adolf Lafon".

The first item we produced was carpenter pants made from corduroy.
He registered the trademark Adolf Lafon Lyon in 1896 and left this world in 1952 after having been put on labor clothing for generations.

From "Adolphe Lafont", a brand with a history of about 200 years, this is a classic item that is still a French workwear item. Introducing the "Blue Mall Skin Jacket".

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 piece made from ink blue moleskin, a typical French workwear item, but it is a piece that is packed with the joy of vintage fading, fading over time.

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

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

Inside, it is unique to Adolfraffon.A red and white "embroidered tags" are included on a black background.
This detail is considered to be of the oldest age among embroidery tags, and it seems to be often seen in individuals from around the 1930s to the 1940s.

adolphraffonWhen it comes to items made, 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.

Although there are signs of wear, fading, stains, scuffs, fraying, and button replacements that are typical of the fabric, there are no signs of major damage that may cause problems with wearing it, so I think you can still wear it.
