40-50s French Work Blue Moleskin Jacket

This is a vintage French blue moleskin jacket, estimated to be from the 1940s or 1950s.

Moleskin was adopted as workwear in France. "Mole" means mole in English, and moleskin means mole fur.

Thick cotton threads are brushed on both sides of the fabric. Moleskin is difficult to mass-produce due to the high density of the weave, the amount of thread used, and the labor required, so it is said that workwear has been replaced by cotton twill since 1950. It is a durable cotton material with a glossy, suede-like smoothness. The more you wear it, the more it becomes familiar to your body, and it is a popular item as a "growing item" that you can enjoy aging like American vintage denim.

Although the brand tag is missing, this is a piece that fully conveys the charm of classic moleskin. At a time when it was difficult to replace it as easily as it is today, it is a masterpiece that conveys the feeling that it has been loved for a long time while being carefully repaired.

The faded ink blue color features repair patchwork in various places, and the contrast of the sleeves creates a unique texture. The buttons have been replaced with different materials such as wood and plastic buttons, and the details give the shirt a vintage feel.

The more you wear it, the more its appearance changes, making it a piece you'll want to pass down to future generations. It fits just right for my body type (reference size). I highly recommend this item to anyone looking for a well-worn moleskin jacket.
