A beautiful and uncommon variation of the classic bleu de travail, this vintage French work jacket features a subtle stripe and textured weave.....a detail rarely found in traditional mid-century workwear. Hand-picked in Paris, it dates from the 1940s–1950s and was originally worn by craftsmen and factory workers who valued durability with understated style.
Made from a heavy cotton moleskin or herringbone twill, the fabric has softened with time, revealing the perfect vintage patina. The cut is classic French utilitarian, straight through the body with three functional front pockets and sturdy buttons. This piece feels timeless, effortlessly wearable, and deeply rooted in French labor history.
