FRENCH MOLESKIN CHORE JACKET - NAVY
DESCRIPTION
Born in the workshops and fields of late 19th-century France, the moleskin chore jacket or bleu de travail is the ultimate expression of utilitarian design. Originally favored for its wind-resistant and abrasion-proof qualities, moleskin served as the "workman’s leather," protecting the farmers, craftsmen, and laborers who built modern France through the harshest conditions.
The design is purely intentional: a straight, boxy cut provides ease of movement, while the dense, satin-weave construction offers exceptional durability and warmth without the need for a bulky lining. Its most iconic feature remains the trio of exterior patch pockets, specifically positioned to hold tools, notebooks, and tobacco.
More than just a vintage relic, this jacket is a masterclass in "form follows function." Crafted from heavyweight moleskin cotton with its signature sheared, suede-like finish, it is built to soften over time, developing a unique, burnished patina and a character that only improves with age. It is a timeless garment that has effortlessly transitioned from the factory floor to the creative’s studio without losing an ounce of its soul.
