Circa 1950s, French Army M35 Motorcycle Coat.
A rare arrival in deadstock condition.
This piece is said to have been adopted by the French Army motorcycle unit from 1935 onwards.
Constructed from heavyweight cotton canvas that resists wind penetration, designed to shield riders from the elements during extended rides.
The A-line silhouette that widens toward the hem remains visually compelling—a design that needs no apology when measured against contemporary pieces.
Cut with raglan sleeves, allowing the shoulders to settle naturally even when worn oversized, ensuring an unforced appearance.
A chin strap is present, enabling the collar to be raised for added protection during cold seasons.
This represents a golden size for the Japanese silhouette, making it accessible to a broad range of builds. Originally tailored as an overcoat, the piece is intentionally generous in its proportions.
The deadstock condition is exemplary, recommending it equally to those seeking pristine examples and to those who wish to author their own patina over time.
Numbers diminish with each passing year, and the market will inevitably recognize this piece's value. For those interested, this moment warrants consideration.
