The final gem from our Paris find — a rare bleu de travail jacket by Lancois, one of France’s historic workwear makers. Woven from sturdy cotton moleskin and dyed in the most luminous true indigo, this piece captures the timeless soul of early French craftsmanship.
Its vibrant blue tone is balanced by signs of honest wear: a hand-repaired chest pocket, faint paint marks, and softened seams that tell a story of decades of use. The original Lancois tag remains intact — a beautiful marker of authenticity and heritage.
