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. Le Mont Saint Michel's items boast a solid name value and are a popular brand in the vintage market.
