Faded and frayed vintage french indigo chore jacket. 100% cotton.
Travail de Blue; The French name for the classic chore jacket translates as ‘working blues’ and is, in fact, a catch-all for the indigo-dyed cotton overalls popularised by French factory workers in the late 1800s. That means they can either be a jacket, shirt or trousers. But when we talk about the bleu de travail today (either in hushed reverence or in a celebratory shriek after scoring one in an online auction), it’s usually just the jacket we're referring to. Simple, distinctive and hard-wearing, the original button-fronted cotton coats are easily reparable but not so easy to find.
It's full of character and has few marks and stains. Also has some mending on the pocket and sleeve as shown on the photos
