an authentic French chore coat, or bleu de travail, from the 1970s. Born in the fields and factories of late 19th-century France, the 'work blue' jacket was the uniform of the French worker for over a century. Its enduring appeal lies in its absolute simplicity—a design stripped to its essential, practical elements.
Crafted from durable cotton twill, the original deep hydrone blue has softened over decades of wear to a beautiful, varied spectrum of faded blues.
