An exceptionally rare find from Paris — this bleu de travail jacket captures the quiet poetry of time. Made from durable French cotton moleskin, it’s been softened and lightened through decades of washing and wear, resulting in the perfect pale sky-blue tone that collectors dream of.
This mid-century work jacket once belonged to a craftsman or atelier worker in France, where garments like this were worn daily for their strength and simplicity. The beautiful fading and soft white buttons speak to its authenticity and age — a piece that has earned every shade of its patina.
Timeless, versatile, and truly one-of-a-kind, this jacket bridges workwear and artwear with effortless grace.
