Estimated late 19th century. An Indigo Linen Fireman Bourgeron Jacket.
A truly exceptional acquisition.
Many seek items crafted from indigo linen of this calibre.
While indigo linen smocks remain relatively discoverable today, jacket forms are considerably scarcer. Finding one in the original market proves increasingly difficult.
This particular example is yet more irregular still.
Having examined countless pieces over the years, this remains entirely unfamiliar to us—a true first encounter.
It carries details reminiscent of French military bourgeron construction, yet incorporates fireman-specific embellishments. The details are uncommonly layered.
The fabric possesses the unmistakable softness and gentle drape characteristic of indigo linen alone.
Most examples of this type run small. This piece occupies a golden proportion—one that accommodates the Japanese physique naturally. It will serve a wide range of builds.
Light surface patina is present, yet for its era, the condition remains notably preserved.
This is not something one acquires simply by spending. Future availability cannot be assured.
Pieces of this rarity warrant serious consideration should they align with what you seek.
