70s FRANCE - WORK JACKET - L

Hard-wearing zip-front chore jacket issued as institutional workwear in 1970s France. Made from heavyweight cotton twill in deep navy, this piece features a structured silhouette with a wide collar, metal Éclair zipper, and Daude Paris snap buttons. Comes with three outer patch pockets and a rare internal chest pocket for added function.

The inner tag references “H.C.C.” with fields for name and ID number, suggesting public or industrial service use — possibly in healthcare or municipal work. The cut and trim details point to the late 1970s, with a clean-lined, practical design typical of post-war French work uniforms.

A true staple from the archives of French utility wear.
