A blue moleskin work jacket, estimated from the 1940s.
Dead stock arrival, notably rare with original flasher.
CREPIER moleskin is seldom encountered—a brand with a devoted following among discerning collectors.
The moleskin jacket has become the standard bearer of French workwear.
Named, as its designation suggests, for the texture of mole skin—a surface both tactile and distinctive.
Upon handling, the fabric reveals what cotton alone cannot achieve: a smoothness of touch, subtle luminosity, and considerable weight.
Built for work, it carries the functionality such purpose demands.
Generously rounded collar, A-line silhouette, V-pockets—details that have endured in favour across decades.
The closely set collar, a hallmark of earlier periods, adds further character to its appeal.
Inside, an embroidered label in red on black ground.
Five buttons at the front.
The patina inherent to moleskin remains intact, allowing the jacket's character to evolve through time in your care.
Cut compact, suiting slighter frames without compromise.
The condition befits dead stock—pristine enough to satisfy those seeking an untouched example.
It stands equally well as a piece for active wear or careful collection.
Rare marque and dead stock status render this occasion worthy of consideration for those in pursuit.
