A Black Moleskin work jacket, estimated from the 1950s.
The moleskin jacket has long been a cornerstone of French workwear.
The fabric takes its name from the texture of a mole's skin—soft, dense, and distinctly tactile.
Run your hand across it and you'll understand: the surface feels impossibly smooth for cotton, with a weight and substance that speaks to its construction.
Black moleskin is rarer than its blue counterpart, making this piece—crafted from this scarce fabric—a considered choice. Many seek it for its versatility.
It was made as workwear, so its functionality is beyond question.
Notable details include a generously rounded collar and an A-line silhouette—both hallmarks of the form.
Five front buttons.
Printed tag inside.
The characteristic sheen of moleskin has softened with time and wear, replaced by a gentle fade that gives the piece presence without assertion.
No damage significant enough to impede wear—it remains entirely wearable.
The proportions suit the Japanese frame well, and should accommodate a range of builds.
Black moleskin is increasingly difficult to source even in France, where it originated. If you've been searching, this may warrant consideration.
