A 1955 French-made black chambray atelier coat.
A rare deadstock acquisition. This particular example is of the sought-after variant with a button closure that extends all the way to the collar.
The atelier coat stands as a cornerstone of French workwear. Teachers, office workers, and children alike wore them with equal ease during that era.
The garment takes its name from the studios where painters once worked in them.
As indicated by the stamp within, this piece was issued by the PTT — Les Postes, Télégraphes et Téléphones — the French postal service.
Equally suited to casual or formal wear, its versatility is remarkable. For those drawn to French workwear, it remains an essential acquisition.
The grey tonality renders it compatible with nearly any garment in one's wardrobe.
This example presents in a generous cut, accommodating larger frames without constraint.
Deadstock condition affords it an unblemished presence. The fabric retains its original rigidity, never having been wetted or worn.
Among atelier coats, those with a full collar button closure remain relatively scarce. Should you have been seeking one, this occasion merits consideration.
