Estimated 1950s, Le Mont St. Michel blue moleskin work jacket.
The moleskin jacket has become a quintessential French workwear staple.
As the name suggests, the fabric is said to derive its name from the texture of mole skin.
Upon handling the garment, one encounters a smoothness and weight of cloth that belies its cotton composition.
Having served its life as workwear, the functionality remains uncompromised.
Le Mont St. Michel's blue moleskin enjoys considerable esteem, yet scarcely circulates in the market, rendering this piece decidedly rare.
The rounded collar, A-line silhouette, and U-shaped pockets constitute details much sought after.
Five buttons fasten the front.
A printed tag is present within.
The sizing runs compact, making this accessible to those of smaller frame.
The characteristic sheen of moleskin has largely faded, affording a authentically weathered vintage presence.
The piece bears what appears to be contemporary repair work—patching executed with care and grace, integrating seamlessly into the whole.
While pristine deadstock examples hold their merit, garments bearing such evidence of repair arguably embody the true essence of vintage.
Pieces of this singular character are seldom encountered. Should you find yourself in search of such a thing, this merits consideration.
