Circa 1940s, a blue moleskin work jacket by Le Mont St. Michel.
A special acquisition. Deadstock condition.
The moleskin jacket has become a cornerstone of French workwear.
The name derives, as one might imagine, from the fabric's resemblance to mole skin—soft and finely textured.
To the touch, it reveals qualities unexpected of cotton: a remarkable smoothness, substantial weight, and a subtle sheen that speaks to its construction.
As a piece designed for workwear, its functionality is beyond question.
This example bears an embroidered tag, a detail particularly sought after among Le Mont St. Michel pieces—a designation many collectors actively pursue.
It carries the hallmarks of the form: a generously rounded collar, an A-line silhouette, and V-pockets—details that have endured because they work.
Five buttons close the front.
The embroidered tag is sewn inside.
In deadstock condition, the piece presents without significant wear—suitable for those seeking a crisp example.
As deadstock, the fabric retains its original rigidity, and the characteristic moleskin sheen remains undimmed.
The proportions align well with the Japanese silhouette, making it accessible to a broad range of builds.
A Le Mont St. Michel moleskin jacket with an embroidered tag represents a rarity. Those seeking such a piece would be wise not to overlook it.
