This is a brown corduroy hunting jacket made by Adolf Lafon in the 1930s.
The hunting jacket is one of the representative items of French workwear, but at the time, hunting was a hobby and pastime enjoyed by royalty and the wealthy. Therefore, the number of hunting jackets is smaller than that of work jackets made of moleskin or cotton twill.
This is a large tag attached to early Adolph Lafon products, commonly known as a "deka tag." I think it is a tag that is coveted by European vintage lovers.
The material is thick heavy corduroy, a heavy fabric. It has a powerful texture with thick ridges that is not seen in modern corduroy. The back of the collar is luxuriously made of black moleskin, and the pocket lining is luxuriously made of blue moleskin.
The lining is made of striped flannel. The rounded collar is a detail seen in older eras. As you can see from the wearing image, the sleeves are sewn with a beautiful front flare, which creates a beautiful standing posture. Furthermore, no matter where you look inside, the stitching is extremely beautiful, and you will be impressed by the high level of skill. This is a piece that is filled with the attention to detail of the craftsmen of the time. It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the top pieces of French workmanship.
The condition is that there are paint stains on the cuffs. There are no tears or loose fibers due to friction, and all the animal buttons are original.
Considering its age, it is in very good condition. It is truly a special item. If you are looking for one, this is your chance.
