Dead stock 1950s French indigo cotton/linen work jacket.

A beautiful blue work jacket.

France, circa 1950s. Indigo-dyed cotton-linen fabric.

It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen one of these. Haha.

This jacket is quite simple, but it’s wonderfully cool.

I’ve taken photos of the jacket on both a man and a woman, so please take a look.

I like that it only has two pockets; the simplicity is nice.

Typically, indigo linen or cotton is more common in earlier eras, so this 1950s piece is a rare and curious find.

I’ve assessed it based on details like the button rim width, material, and the stitching in various places.

French linen truly is a fabric with an incredible atmosphere.

The quality is, of course, impeccable—it’s a thick, dense, and tough material.

Linen was even used in military gear back in the day; it would be risky to think of it in terms of modern-day linen production, but it seems vintage linen was regarded as a very durable and high-quality fabric.

When I started this business back around 2015-2016, I feel like I could still buy them relatively easily, but I really haven't seen them much lately.

I don't know where they’ve all gone, but I was lucky enough to find this one during my last buying trip to France. Haha.

I found just this one piece sitting in a corner at some local flea market. Haha.

I tried it on for the first time in a while, and there’s just something uniquely cool about it that you don’t find elsewhere...

It’s hard to put into words. Haha.

The size is good, and I think you could wear it throughout the coming season.

It’s priced a bit high, but I think it’s a piece you’ll be satisfied with. Give it a look!

It has been washed once.
