Estimated 1940s. A blue moleskin work jacket.
Arrived as rare deadstock.
The moleskin jacket has become a staple of French workwear in recent years.
True to its name, the fabric is said to be named for its resemblance to the skin of a mole.
Upon handling, you will notice the fabric possesses a smoothness and sheen one would not expect from cotton, along with considerable weight.
Having served as workwear, its functionality is entirely sound.
Featuring a generously rounded collar, A-line silhouette, and V-pockets—details that remain popular for good reason.
This example has a sewn-attached collar, characteristic of garments worn by those working at heights.
Five front buttons.
The inherent sheen of moleskin remains, allowing you to enjoy its patina as your own hands shape it over time.
Sizing runs small, making it accessible for those of slighter build.
As deadstock, the condition is exemplary—a piece for those seeking an item in pristine form.
It serves equally well as a collection piece.
If you have been searching, this warrants consideration.
