The Forestière jacket embodies a timeless blend of function and style, originally designed for the iconic architect Le Corbusier. Crafted from robust Japanese moleskin cotton and lined with a comfortable cotton-linen blend, this jacket features a mandarin collar and a practical array of pockets. Its refined silhouette combines a contemporary aesthetic with versatile detailing, making it perfect for both casual outings and sophisticated gatherings.
From the brand: Originally conceived in 1947 for the architect Le Corbusier, the Forestière jacket takes its cues from the traditional French gamekeeper’s coat. With its distinctive mandarin collar and utilitarian pockets, it has long been a favourite of the Left Bank intelligentsia and the free-thinking bobo set, prized for its balance of function and understated elegance.
Our version is cut from a robust Japanese moleskin cotton, lined in a breathable cotton-linen blend for comfort. Faithful to the spirit of the original, we have refined the silhouette for a cleaner, more contemporary line, while retaining the jacket’s practical detailing: three generous patch-and-flap pockets, two internal pockets, and adjustable cuffs.
