French Workwear has become a ubiquitous term over the years to include any workwear for factory workers dyed the famed indigo blue, a practice which began in the late 1800s. We collected a selection of this workwear, including pieces originally manufactured in France, Germany, or other European countries in the 1960s and 1970s. Weve repaired and trimmed each piece utilizing antique Japanese boro fabrics to reimagine each pant into a one-of-a-kind piece. Since each jacket dictated its transformation based on repair needs, no two pieces are the same. Boro is the age old Japanese art of mending textiles and is literally translated as rags or scraps of cloth. As far back as the 17th century, peasants, merchants and artisans would patch up clothing and quilts using scraps of old kimonos or hemp fabric, making the garment last long enough to be passed down through generations. Sashiko is a form of embroidery, usually a running stitch, and is literally translated to little stabs. Its sturdy method makes is ideal for boro and perfect for mending denim.
