Description

A distinctive vintage workwear jacket in a vivid rich blue. Its design moves beyond the usual three-pocket chore coat with a broad pointed collar, horizontal front yoke and a structured four-pocket layout.

Two large chest pockets sit beneath popper-secured flaps. The left chest pocket also includes a narrow tool or pen compartment. Two open lower pockets provide additional storage. The button front is joined by matching blue poppers at the cuffs and lower band.

The jacket is made from a 60% cotton and 40% polyester blend. It has a boxy upper body with a straighter lower hem and enough room for layering. The strong colour remains consistent throughout with no significant fading or shape loss.

Small black paint marks are visible across the front, inner neckline and upper back. They are subtle when the jacket is worn and feel entirely appropriate for an original work garment. All buttons and poppers remain present and intact.

A particularly strong example for anyone looking for vintage workwear with practical detailing, a larger size and genuine evidence of its original use.

About the Brand

No commercial brand name is shown on the jacket. The label confirms the composition and size but does not state a manufacturer or country of production.

This style belongs to the wider European workwear tradition associated with French bleu de travail jackets. Blue work jackets were made as practical clothing for factory, workshop and trade use. Simple construction, useful pockets and replaceable hardware allowed them to withstand regular work.

The German-language fibre information means the jacket should not be described as definitively made in France. It is best understood as vintage European workwear in the French work-jacket tradition.
