A white cotton twill colonial jacket, French-made, estimated 1930s.
A special arrival.
Admittedly, this is our first encounter with such a piece.
It is a rarity one seldom comes across.
The chest features flap pockets set in an inverted V formation. Hidden hand pockets sit at the waist. Adjustable belts at the sides allow for width modification—distinctive details that command attention at first glance.
Not a common garment. We would heartily recommend this piece to those who favour the unconventional.
The fabric is a white cotton twill with a slightly nubby texture and substantial weight.
Far fewer examples exist than in ink blue, making it scarce even among French vintage pieces.
Cotton twill, being lighter than moleskin, permits wear across a broader range of seasons and offers considerable versatility.
It is equally gratifying to wear without hesitation or reserve.
The white colour ensures compatibility with virtually any garment, making it effortless to integrate into one's wardrobe—a piece of considerable utility.
The sizing runs small. Those of slighter build should find it wearable without difficulty.
The condition is notably clean, with minimal visible soiling or marks—particularly commendable given its age.
There are no significant damages that would impede wearing, and it remains fully serviceable.
An uncommon piece with distinctive details.
For those drawn to the unconventional, we invite your consideration.
