Exuding contemporary elegance, the Forestière jacket is crafted from premium Italian linen twill, offering a refined silhouette that celebrates both style and function. Inspired by the classic French gamekeeper's coat, it features a distinctive mandarin collar and multiple practical pockets, making it ideal for the modern minimalist. The adjustable cuffs and lightweight fabric enhance comfort, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe, perfect for both casual outings and more sophisticated settings.
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 an 8.1oz Italian linen twill. 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.
