[~60's] French Vintage Wool Lapel Work Jacket "Pascal"

It was a French wool lapel work jacket estimated to be around the 1960s.

"Work Jacket" is an indispensable part of French vintage style

Although its name is "Work," it is actually an extremely practical work jacket that was widely provided and worn by the working class working in various sites, including coal mining, factories, railways, and farms in France from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century.

At the time, due to the advances in industrialization and urbanization in France, many workers were engaged in the field that involved manual work, and this work jacket was an indispensable item as the clothing that supported their daily work.

It is characterized by its practical structure designed for harsh working environments, such as the front flapping, deep patch pockets, and a box silhouette that does not hinder movement, and is known to have been widely supported by people of all occupations.

The fabrics used are also a wide variety of products, and it has been confirmed that they were used differently depending on the environment, region, and season, such as cotton twill, moleskin, cotton picket, corduroy, wool, and linen.
Among them, the moleskin fabric, which combines durability and heat retention, is particularly highly regarded among workers who work in heavy work, and is one of the specifications that is still highly popular in the vintage market today.

At that time, companies, government agencies, and local governments often distributed it to employees as uniforms or supplies, and many individuals still have the company name, manufacturer, and number of items printed on the inner tags.

For this reason, despite being a mass-produced product, the details differ significantly depending on the production area and age, and are still highly regarded as being a strong reflection of French labor culture and historical background.

There is no other workwear that suits the word "functional beauty" so well, and "Work Jacket" is a masterpiece that conveys its simple and powerful appearance as a symbol of French workwear.

Generally, the so-called "coverall-shaped" type is a round collar, a single chest pocket, and a total of three pockets, a waist and left and right.

However, the biggest appeal of this individual is its rare design, a "lapel color type," which is a step further from its mainstream.

The V-zone, made with a small notch lapel, is designed to look neat with the looseness of the shirt's first button removed, as well as the layering that shows off the turtleneck and crew neck.
The gaze flows vertically from the round collar, making the area around the face neater.

The pocket on the left chest is kept to a sufficient capacity and is placed at a height that does not interfere with the V-zone.
Flap pockets are placed on both sides at both hems, with flaps with slightly rounded corners and a low mounting position to prevent them from being flat and the angle of care is natural.

The front is made of vertical darts, giving the straight work silhouette a moderate three-dimensional look.
The sleeves also have a slightly forward-looking look, ensuring range of motion.

The front is open and closed with a 3-button fastening.

The inside comes with a white black "DALIGAULT" "print tag" made by black.
The detailed brand details are unknown, but in the tag "As stated in Rue Bergerette, ST HILAIRE du HARCOUËT, Saint-Hilaire du Arcuet is located in the Normandy region of France.It is clear that it was based at the time on Bergerette Street, at the time.

This individual uses "Wool," a classic French vintage winter fabric.

Of these, it is particularly noteworthy that it is made by Pascal, which has gained strong support from core enthusiasts.

Pascal is a textile inscription with the French word "Draperie," meaning "wool fabric" and is pride in "Qualité Supérieure" on its label.

The fabric is made of high-density woven wool and is lightly shrunk, resulting in a bulge that contains air and a firmness with a core.

When you hold it in your hand, you will feel a moist and resilience at the same time, and as it blends in with your body, the slightly brushed surface becomes a slight luster.
It's truly perfect, indeed, as if topped with the name of Drapery.

The more you wear it, the more shadows are engraved on the seams and edges, and the three-dimensional lapels and sleeves on the front look even better, which is one of the most exciting things about this high-quality wool.

The color is a heathered charcoal color.

The fine melange that does not sink into a single color of black creates depth, and the shades of light change gently depending on how the light hits it.
It stands out in a calm ink colour in the shade, while the grain of the grain of the grain brings out a soft look under natural light.

This is a highly refined coloring that accentuates the neatness of the lapel-shaped work, while the tone deepens slightly over time, increasing the gloss and contrast of the surface, creating a "classic and extraordinary" fostering.

Although the size indication cannot be confirmed, I think it falls under the "M" size for Japanese sizes.

Looking at the actual measurements, it is a golden size that suits the Japanese body type, so I think it can be worn by a wide range of people with a wide range of body types.

There are signs of wear such as dirt, but there are no major damage that can cause problems with wearing it, so I think you can still wear it.
