An authentic bleu de travail jacket from mid-century France, hand-picked in Paris. Made from richly dyed cotton twill in a deep ultramarine hue, this piece carries the honest character of years spent in the French workshops and ateliers of the 1950s–1960s. Designed for durability and ease of movement, these utilitarian jackets were worn by carpenters, metalworkers, and artisans throughout rural and urban France.
The natural fading, light paint markings, and tiny repairs tell a quiet story of work and craft — a living texture that modern reproductions can’t replicate.
