A rare example of authentic French industrial workwear, this ANF Industrie jacket was worn by factory and railway workers through the 1950s–1960s. Made from heavy cotton moleskin that’s softened beautifully with age, it embodies the strength and resilience of the French labor tradition. The original woven ANF Industrie patch remains intact — a small emblem of craftsmanship and national pride.
This piece shows years of honest wear and beautifully done hand-mended repairs along the sleeve and pocket — marks of a garment that truly lived a working life. Every stitch and faded seam tells its story.
