The sand moleskin jacket, a colour that hides nothing
The sand moleskin jacket makes a bet that blue and black don't: a light colour on a garment made to work. Sand hides nothing. It records creases, hand marks and workbench rubbing, and that is exactly what, after two seasons, makes this jacket interesting. On outerwear, a light shade also lightens the silhouette and brightens the face, where blue and black close it in.

Cut and sizing
Fitted cut, sharp shoulder. From S to 3XL. Take your usual size, or one size up if you plan to layer a thick sweater. The size guide helps you decide.
How to wear a sand moleskin jacket
Over dark tones: with Japanese jeans and a navy sweater, the sand becomes the light point of the silhouette. Tone on tone: ecru chinos and a white T-shirt, the whole stays light and the material makes the difference. In place of a blazer, buttoned over a blue oxford shirt. 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. No tumble dryer and no fabric softener. Air dry in the shade. Between washes, a brush is often enough to remove surface dust.
A French working cloth
Moleskin takes its name from the English "moleskin", for its short, soft surface. It is a very tightly woven cotton cloth in a satin weave that has dressed French workshops since the 19th century and has become to the French wardrobe what denim is to the American one. Ours weighs 420 g/m², about 14 oz: dense without being cardboardy, a little stiff at first, then supple, until it takes the shape of your shoulders.
Patina and durability
In three years, this sand jacket will have noted all your gestures.
Sand hides nothing. It records creases, hand marks, workbench rubbing. This French 420 g/m² moleskin, in a satin weave, marks at the elbows, cuffs and the base of the pockets. That is what makes it interesting after two seasons. Here is its path.
-
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.
Blue and black close in a silhouette; sand lights it up, especially in winter. It is the jacket for those who like a garment to show that it has lived. Made in France, it will become the most personal piece in your wardrobe.
A light patina
With use, moleskin softens and marks at the flex points: elbows, cuffs, the base of the pockets. The jacket personalises itself like raw denim, but in a light tone and more discreetly. You have to accept it: a sand moleskin is not meant to stay new. If you want a piece that changes little, choose the olive.
Four pockets, a clean cut
On the front, a chest pocket and two large lower pockets; inside, an inner pocket for what should stay safe. The cut is fitted with a sharp shoulder: the jacket plays the part of a casual town jacket, buttoned over a shirt, as well as that of a workshop jacket. It is made entirely in France.
