1930s FRENCH REPAIRED MOLESKIN CHORE JACKET. Here we have a very charming piece archetypal French work piece, beautifully aged with decades of charming artfully darned repair work. Made in the 1930s from a strong cotton moleskin of the finest quality. Originally a deep blue colour which has faded considerably due to extensive sun exposure, leaving it with a desirable patina with contrasting shades of pale blues. Closes to the collar with a five button closure. Split, button close cuffs, currently missing the buttons. Mismatching buttons which have been replaced in the past, leaving the garment with buttons made from mismatching plastics. Three patch pockets to the front with envelope panelling, one large internal pocket with visible stitching on the outside. Covered in lots of interesting and charming repair work, with areas of skilful darning, all artfully hand rendered and of the era. Some naive stitched repairs to tears on the sleeves. There are some ingrained marks, as to be expected for a worn work garment of this vintage. A really nice unique look with all the wear that makes these french work jackets so desirable. Perfect for those who like their workwear more on the beaten up side. Lease check measurements below carefully. Underarm to Underarm:19.5″ (Would Ideally fit 36-40″, depending on desired look). Shoulders to cuffs: 23. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have and check my other auctions for more great items.
