Estimated 1950s, Le Mont St. Michel blue moleskin work jacket.
Among French workwear brands, Le Mont St. Michel enjoys a particularly distinguished reputation.
Le Mont St. Michel was founded in 1913 in Brittany, France, as a specialist workwear manufacturer, and remains a notable name to this day.
A piece bearing the Le Mont St. Michel name commands particular respect within French workwear circles. The value of such pieces exceeds that of other makers, and the rarer the era, the higher the desirability.
The moleskin jacket has become a definitive standard in French work pieces.
The name derives, it is said, from the fabric's resemblance to the skin of a mole.
Upon handling it, one discovers a smoothness and substance that belies its cotton composition.
As a work garment, its functionality is entirely without compromise.
Le Mont St. Michel's blue moleskin pieces are particularly sought after and remain scarce in circulation, making this a genuinely rare offering.
The rounded collar, A-line silhouette, and V-pocket detailing are hallmarks of the style.
Most Le Mont St. Michel pieces from the 1950s feature U-pockets rather than V-pockets.
Given the printed tag construction, this example may well have been made closer to the 1940s.
The presence of V-pockets alone shifts the character considerably.
Five front buttons.
A printed label resides within.
While most moleskin jackets tend toward smaller proportions, this piece carries a labeled size 50—an uncommonly generous measurement.
The actual dimensions reflect this scale, making it accessible to those of larger build. A notably scarce size.
The characteristic lustre of moleskin has faded, revealing instead the character of aged fabric.
The material's own wear patterns amplify this vintage patina.
While pristine deadstock pieces hold their appeal, this one's seasoned presence embodies the true essence of vintage.
Le Mont St. Michel moleskin jackets are both coveted and scarce. Should you have been searching for such a piece, this may warrant consideration.
