The khaki moleskin jacket, between uniform and workshop
This khaki moleskin jacket brings together two traditions that have almost never crossed: olive drab, the shade of American military clothing, and moleskin, the cloth of French workwear. The result belongs fully to neither. It is a workshop jacket in a field colour, keeping from both worlds what is most useful: strength and restraint.
- Material: 100% cotton, moleskin, satin weave
- Origin: made in France
- Detail: olive drab
- Detail: 420 g/m² moleskin
- Detail: shaved-velvet finish
Cut and sizing
Fitted cut: it slips under a pea coat without bulk, which a loose jacket cannot do. From S to 3XL. 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 khaki moleskin jacket
Over brown or camel, the natural match for olive: a camel chino, leather shoes. With selvedge jeans: olive and indigo make one of the strongest pairs in the work wardrobe. In winter, under a pea coat. It also exists in hydron blue.
Care
Machine washable at home, dry cleaning is not necessary: 30 °C (86 °F) inside out, short cycle, mild detergent with no bleaching agent, and separately the first few times, because dyed cotton bleeds slightly. No tumble dryer and no fabric softener. Air dry in the shade; iron on the reverse at medium heat.
Olive drab, a colour made to disappear
The American army chose olive drab because it blends with foliage and damp earth. It is a functional colour before it is a style colour. This muted, slightly greyed olive behaves today like a neutral: it takes brown, camel, ecru, navy and indigo, and is easier to wear than most greens. The dyeing is done in France, in the Pays de la Loire.
Patina and durability
In three years, this olive drab will have kept its sobriety.
Olive drab comes from American uniforms, moleskin from French workshops. This jacket brings the two together: a 420 g/m² satin-weave cloth, made in France, in a field shade that has become a neutral. Unlike sand, olive keeps its original look for a long time. 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.
It is the moleskin for those who want a jacket with character without it standing out too much. Olive goes with jeans, grey, ecru, and passes under a coat with no extra bulk. A workshop jacket in a field colour: the best of both worlds, and a strength made to last.
A 420 g/m² moleskin
Moleskin is a very tightly woven cotton cloth in a satin weave, with a short, soft surface, present in French workshops since the 19th century. Ours weighs 420 g/m², about 14 oz. It is stiff for the first few days, then softens and takes the shape of your shoulders. On a muted olive the patina stays discreet: unlike the sand, this jacket keeps its original look for a long time.
Buttons that stand out
The corozo buttons, a vegetable ivory, contrast against the green. On the front, a chest pocket and two large lower pockets, wide enough for a notebook; inside, an inner pocket for the essentials. It is assembled on an off-the-arm machine, and the jacket is made entirely in France, from weaving to buttons.
