This is a blue moleskin jacket made in Mont Saint-Michel in the 1940s.
Moleskin was adopted as workwear in France. "Mole" means mole in English, and moleskin means mole fur.
The thick cotton threads are brushed on both sides of the fabric, creating a durable cotton material that is smooth and glossy like suede.
[Le Mont St. Michel]
It is no exaggeration to say that Le Mont St Michel is the premier brand of French vintage workwear. It has a long history, having been founded in 1913 in Pontorson, near the Mont Saint-Michel monastery in the Normandy region of France.
Starting out as a small family-run workshop producing workwear, the brand gained widespread popularity among local craftsmen and farmers in the 1920s and 1930s. It actively promoted advertising to expand its business, and grew into one of the leading brands in western France.
Le Mont Saint Michel's workwear, which emphasizes durability and functionality, has its own quality standards, and pockets, stitching, rivets, etc. are strictly controlled according to the purpose of use, such as farm work, mining, hunting, and school wear. With a solid name value, Le Mont Saint Michel's items are also a popular brand in the vintage market.
This is a deadstock item with the V-pocket, yellow embroidered tag, and flasher seen on old moleskin jackets. The deep ink blue color of this jacket is irresistible with its lustrous and elegant texture. It is a jacket worth caring for.
