The selvedge work jacket, a workshop blazer

This selvedge work jacket starts from our Fernand jacket, whose trio of patch pockets it keeps, and turns it into a work blazer: rounded finishes, a light and resistant shape, fitted without being slim. You wear it open over khaki trousers like a town jacket, or closed to the collar when the wind rises. It is cut from a Japanese denim, then made and washed in France.

Cut and sizing

Straight cut, fitted without being slim, with about 10 cm (4 in) of ease around the chest. From S to XXL, half chest runs from 53 to 61 cm (20.9 to 24 in), front length from 70 to 76 cm (27.6 to 29.9 in) and sleeve from 66 to 69 cm (26 to 27.2 in). Take your usual size.

How to wear a selvedge work jacket

Open over a khaki chino, as in our photos, and an ecru henley. Collar up at the seaside, buttoned to the top. With Japanese jeans for a total denim look, the two cloths patinating together.

Care

Wash it as rarely as possible: denim patinates better that way. Air it between wears. When needed: 30 °C (86 °F) inside out, short cycle, mild detergent with no bleaching agent, separately the first few times, because indigo bleeds. Air dry in the shade, never in a tumble dryer.

Four pockets, one hidden

On the front, a 12 × 13 cm chest pocket and two 17 × 17 cm lower pockets, big enough for belongings and tools. Inside, on the right, a fourth hidden pocket. The bottoms of the three outer pockets are lined with cotton, to extend their life where keys and tools rub most.

Patine et durabilité

In three years, this selvedge will have made your blazer a one-of-a-kind piece.

It starts from our Fernand jacket, whose three patch pockets it keeps, and makes a workshop blazer of it: rounded finishes, light shape, fitted without being slim. It is cut from a 14 oz Japanese selvedge denim, then made and washed in France. Here is how the indigo will patinate.

  1. Le denim selvedge en 100% cotton, toile ferme, la teinte indigo au plus dense. Rien n’a encore marqué.

  2. bords, coutures et poches cèdent d’abord : le denim commence à suivre vos gestes.

  3. Les plis de mouvement se fixent. Ce sont eux qui dessineront les contrastes.

  4. Lavage à 30 °C, sur l’envers, sans sèche-linge.

  5. Arêtes, poches et bords pâlissent : le indigo s’éclaircit aux arêtes et aux plis, sans jamais pâlir d’un bloc, et le fil du tissage se devine.

  6. Les zones de pli se contrastent nettement. Des marques qui n’appartiennent qu’à vous.

  7. Clair aux points d’usure, dense là où la toile est protégée : le contraste est installé.

  8. Un accroc, une couture ouverte : l’atelier de Toulouse reprend, le denim continue.

  9. Personne d’autre n’aura ces marques. Une friperie vend la vie des autres ; celle-ci est la vôtre.

A wool blazer is kept for occasions; this one is worn every day and gets better with every outing. Open over a khaki like a town jacket, closed to the collar when the wind rises. It is the jacket that links the workshop and the meeting.

An Okayama selvedge, in narrow width

The denim is a 100% cotton selvedge of 400 g/m², or 14 oz, woven in the Okayama region of Japan, on vintage narrow-width looms. These narrow looms close the cloth on each side: turned over, the jacket shows its pale weft and its selvedges. The back is cut in one piece, with no centre seam.

The cloth has been given a rinse wash in France. That wash softens it and makes it pleasant to wear from the first day; there is no need to wash it before putting it on.

The signet collar, the hidden back button

The signet collar, typically French, can be worn open or turned up to protect the neck. The jacket closes with five corozo buttons, a vegetable ivory. A little surprise under the first one: an ivory cat's-eye back button, revealed when you wear it the English way, lapel showing. At the collar, a Champ de Manoeuvres leather patch. The sleeves are open, with reinforced cuffs and military-inspired hems, which can be worn open or half turned back.

FAQ

We are here to help you

Find here the answers to the most frequently asked questions to help you choose with confidence.

Contact us?
What is the quality of Champ de Manœuvres products?

Our clothes are made from exceptional materials (Japanese selvedge denim, French wool from Tournier…) and assembled on vintage machines.

Every piece is designed to last, evolve and patinate over time. The fabrics are developed to our own specifications: we imagine our own weaves, then have them woven in the best mills in the world (Japan, France, Italy, Portugal, Morocco), often on old looms. This process can take up to a year to produce a new cloth.

It is this level of exacting standards that sets Champ de Manoeuvres apart.
