This is an original vintage French workwear jacket. The jacket is made of black cotton moleskin that has become soft and faded from years of use.
Moleskin is a heavy cotton fabric that is woven and then sheared to give the fabric a short and soft pile on one side. The fabric was commonly used in workwear garments back in the days because the fabric is noted to be a soft and durable textile. The densely woven fabric will also protect it's wearer from the cold winds.
This jacket is a vintage original and the fading of the fabric comes from years of wearing, but the jacket is in absolutely amazing condition and the patina only adds to the history of the jacket. In our opinion this type of black moleskin looks its best after years of use.
Douglas is 180 cm long with a weigh of 84 kilos.
