[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 emphasizes durability and functionality, and has its own quality standards, with pockets, stitching, rivets, etc. strictly tailored to the purpose of use, such as for farm work, mining, hunting, and school wear.
Le Mont Saint Michel items are also popular in the vintage market as a brand.
The products we sell are vintage items, so we generally do not accept returns for reasons such as incorrect size or the product being different from what you expected. There may be deterioration due to aging and dirt from storage. Please purchase only if you understand vintage items. .
