Estimated 1960s. A black moleskin work jacket.
The moleskin jacket has become the quintessential French workwear item.
As its name suggests, it is said to derive from the texture of mole skin—a fabric of uncommon softness and density.
Once you touch it, you understand: a smoothness and weight that belies its cotton composition.
Black moleskin, far rarer than its blue counterpart, has been employed generously throughout this piece. Its versatility has made it sought after by many.
Originally worn as workwear, the functionality remains uncompromised.
Generously rounded collar and A-line silhouette—details that have proven their appeal across decades.
Five buttons to the front.
The characteristic sheen of moleskin has given way to a graceful fade earned through time and wear. The patina is assured.
While visible signs of use are present throughout, there are no substantial damages that would compromise wear. It remains entirely wearable.
This is an uncommon oversized specimen. Black moleskin jackets in this scale rarely surface. Scarcity in its truest sense.
Black moleskin has become depleted even in France itself, making acquisition increasingly difficult. If you have been searching, this warrants consideration.
