A Adolphe Lafont black moleskin work jacket, estimated from the 1950s.
A special arrival. Moreover, this particular piece comes to us as deadstock.
The moleskin jacket has become a standard of French workwear.
As the name suggests, it is said to have been named for its resemblance to the texture of mole skin.
Upon handling, one discovers a smoothness and weight that belies its cotton composition.
Black moleskin is rarer still than its blue counterpart, and this piece makes generous use of it. Its versatility makes it sought after by many.
Having served as genuine workwear, its functionality is beyond question.
Work jackets in black moleskin remain scarce regardless of brand or condition. A Lafont example is rarer still.
This specimen carries the coveted "人tag" among Adolphe Lafont labels—a mark of quality that speaks to the piece itself as much as to its provenance.
A rare piece in a generous size, suited to those of larger frame. Black moleskin jackets in proportions this ample seldom emerge, making this one particularly notable.
Deadstock condition means the garment presents with a cleanliness that will appeal to those seeking an untouched example.
The opportunity to acquire such a piece in this state arises infrequently. As a collection piece, it warrants serious consideration.
This is not the sort of item one simply purchases. Future arrival cannot be assured.
Vintage Lafont pieces of this era, in a size this generous, offer no predictability as to when—or if—another will surface.
For those seeking it, this warrants attention.
