From the brand: DESCRIPTION
Issued to the French military in the postwar era, this work jacket embodies the pragmatic approach of the army’s labor garments: thick cotton canvas, a utilitarian cut, generous pockets, and a raw, iconic look. Worn by mechanics, technical crews, and personnel responsible for maintenance and infrastructure work, it was built to withstand constant handling and the demanding conditions of daily tasks.
The silhouette follows the spirit of traditional chore jackets, with a straight cut, a simple shirt collar, and three front patch pockets. Its minimal and rational design perfectly reflects the postwar French workwear aesthetic, where every detail served a clear and functional purpose.
