Estimated 1950s, a black moleskin work coat.
A special arrival.
Moleskin has become the standard of French workwear today.
As the name suggests, it is said to be named for its texture reminiscent of mole skin.
As you'll discover upon handling it, the fabric possesses a smoothness and weight that belies its cotton composition.
A single piece made from black moleskin, considerably rarer than its blue counterpart and correspondingly harder to find. Many seek it for its versatility.
Having served as workwear, its functionality remains uncompromised.
While coverall-style pieces dominate moleskin garments, this is a coat-type example.
Black moleskin work coats remain exceptionally scarce, regardless of condition or era. Particularly in larger men's sizes, such pieces are rarely encountered.
Four front buttons are affixed.
The sizing appears to fall within a golden range for the Japanese frame, offering compatibility across a broad range of builds.
While the distinctive sheen characteristic of moleskin is absent, a refined fade has developed through years of wear and service, lending considerable presence.
There is mild fabric abrasion, yet no significant damage that would impede wear. The piece remains eminently wearable.
Black moleskin coats of this type are rarely encountered. Should you be seeking such a piece, this opportunity warrants consideration.
