70s FRANCE - ZIP WORK JACKET - M

French utilitarian design from the late 1970s.

Classic French bleu de travail with a zip front, crafted from medium-weight cotton twill in a saturated work blue tone. Features two chest pockets with zippers, simple cuffs with single button closures, and a clean, structured fit. Patina and ingrained marks on the sleeve enhance its authentic, time-worn presence. Full brass zipper by Ailée — a hallmark of vintage French utility garments.

Made in France in the late 1970s to early 1980s, this type of jacket was typically worn by factory or construction workers. Its double chest pockets, durable cotton build, and easy silhouette make it one of the more sought-after forms of mid-century European workwear — utilitarian, timeless, and striking in its understatement.

A true staple for the modern uniform.
