This Forestière jacket marries practicality with refined style, originally designed for Le Corbusier and inspired by the traditional French gamekeeper’s coat. Crafted from robust Italian cotton corduroy and lined with a breathable cotton-linen blend, it features a distinctive mandarin collar, generous patch and flap pockets, and adjustable cuffs. Perfect for urban adventurers, this jacket balances function and understated elegance, making it an ideal choice for both everyday wear and fashionable outings.
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 Italian cotton corduroy, 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.
