DESCRIPTION

Born in the workshops and fields of late 19th-century France, the chore jacket or bleu de travail is the ultimate expression of utilitarian design. Originally dyed a deep, vibrant indigo to mask the grease and grime of the Industrial Revolution, it served as the uniform of choice for the farmers, craftsmen, and laborers who built modern France.

The design is purely intentional: a straight, boxy cut provides ease of movement, while the unlined construction ensures breathability during heavy labor. Its most iconic feature is the trio of exterior patch pockets, specifically positioned to hold tools, notebooks, and tobacco.

More than just a vintage relic, this jacket is a masterclass in "form follows function." Crafted from rugged cotton twill, it is built to soften over time, developing a unique character and patina with every year of use. It is a timeless garment that has effortlessly transitioned from the factory floor to the creative’s studio without losing an ounce of its soul.
