Full size guide →The men's drill jacket, before the word workwear
The jacket we call the Lockroy takes up the French industrial smock, the garment worn by foremen and workshop workers long before anyone talked about workwear. Worn over the shirt, it had to resist and let you move without weighing you down. Our men's drill jacket keeps that logic, in a shaped cut that structures the torso without squeezing and opens or closes as needed.
- Material: 100% cotton
- Origin: made in France
- Detail: slub cotton drill
- Detail: the difference from denim
- Detail: Hydron blue dyeing
Cut and sizing
Shaped cut, neither slim nor loose. From S to XXL, half chest runs from 53 to 61 cm (20.9 to 24 in) and length from 72 to 76 cm (28.3 to 29.9 in). Take your usual size, or one size up to wear it over a thick sweater. The size guide helps you decide.
How to wear a men's drill jacket
Over a T-shirt, the workshop use, direct and unfussy. With a navy beanie and a chambray scarf, as in our photos. With light trousers, Hydron blue lightens clearly: a beige chino or the camel chino. For a moleskin version, see the moleskin jacket.
Care
Machine washable at home, dry cleaning is not necessary: 30 °C (86 °F) inside out, short cycle, mild detergent with no bleaching agent, separately the first few times, because dyed cotton bleeds slightly. No tumble dryer and no fabric softener. Air dry in the shade; iron at medium heat, on the reverse.
Drill, a twill that is not denim
Drill is a cotton cloth woven in twill, that is, on the diagonal, exactly like denim. The difference lies in the dyeing: in denim only the warp is dyed and the weft stays ecru; in drill the cloth is dyed evenly. It therefore does not fade in the same way.
The yarn used here is slubbed: its thickness varies slightly, giving the surface an irregular grain. The cloth has the texture of an old garment without any ageing treatment.
Patina and durability
In three years, this drill will have faded softly, without a single streak.
The Lockroy takes up the French industrial smock worn by foremen and workshop workers long before anyone talked about workwear. Its slub cotton drill, made in France, is dyed in a Hydron blue duller than indigo. It lightens without sharp streaks, and its irregular grain already gives it the look of an old piece. Here is how it evolves.
-
firm material, solid color, clean finishes.
-
the piece softens where it works the most.
-
wear creases mark themselves and return from one wear to the next.
-
follow the composition instructions; excessive heat and tumble dryers are to be avoided.
-
borders and friction zones soften first.
-
the color shades with use, without aging all at once.
-
the piece is made: supple, familiar, always holding.
-
a seam, a button, a snag is mended in the workshop.
-
nearly three years: a well-kept piece gains in character what it loses in newness.
Indigo resists brown and camel; this blue marries with them. It is the work jacket for those who want to get out of the jeans-and-indigo duo. Made in France, shaped without squeezing, for under €100: hard to find anything more right.
Hydron blue, a workshop dye
This blue is duller than indigo. It does not fade in sharp streaks like denim: it lightens slowly and evenly, which suits a piece worn every day. It also goes with colours that indigo resists, brown, camel, warm grey, and takes the jacket out of the strictly denim register.
Signet collar, pointed pockets
The signet-style collar adjusts, with a hidden back button. The jacket closes with five corozo buttons, a vegetable ivory. The sleeves are open, with reinforced cuffs. Three patch pockets outside, sewn in a point with a chain stitch: two lower pockets of 17 × 16 cm and a chest pocket of 11 × 12 cm. A fourth, inside, measures 17 × 13 cm.

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 develop a patina over time. The fabrics are developed to our own specifications: we design our own weaves, then have them woven by the best mills in the world (Japan, France, Italy, Portugal, Morocco), often on old looms. A new cloth can take up to a year to come to life.
This exacting standard is what sets Champ de Manoeuvres apart.
