The vintage men's blue work jacket
First, the reference. The "bleus de chauffe" of the last century were designed for the factory. Their thick cotton had to withstand the harshest conditions.
Then, the difference. The Eugène jacket keeps that toughness but drops the original bagginess. As a result, it can be worn in town without looking like fancy dress.
Three ways to wear it
- Over a T-shirt: the fitted cut stands on its own, with no layering needed.
- Over a shirt: the Cuban collar leaves room for the collar underneath.
- With raw jeans: two blues that patinate at the same rhythm.
Has this jacket been washed?
Yes. We gave it a heavy wash to create a patina suggesting about six months of wear. The treatment also strengthens the structure of the cloth with a specific product that gives it more hold, while removing pilling. The stone wash is done without harsh chemicals and in line with REACH regulations.
Does the Eugène jacket run small?
It is more fitted than a period work jacket. If you plan to wear it over a thick knit, take one size up. Otherwise your usual size is perfect.
A fitted cut, a Cuban collar
Traditional work jackets were wide, out of necessity. This one follows the body's lines discreetly. The high-quality drill is enough for that, without stiffness.
We also dropped the usual rounded collar. In its place, a Cuban collar. It gives the jacket a sharper drape at the opening.
Patina and durability
In three years, this work blue will have faded just where it should.
The work jackets of the last century were cut for the factory, in a thick cotton and a loose cut. The Eugène keeps the toughness and drops the bagginess. Its drill is woven in France, its buttons and rivets fitted in France. Here is how this cotton will fade.
-
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.
The blue work jacket is the most French garment there is, and the easiest to wear. The Eugène makes it a fitted jacket, that goes as well over a T-shirt as over a shirt. At €110, it is the ideal way into the work wardrobe: it won't leave your shoulders again.
Hydron blue, a workshop colour code
Hydron blue is a deep, sober and assertive blue. It is an emblematic colour of industrial workwear. A meticulous wash, done in France, strengthens its vintage identity.
Like denim, this blue goes with almost every colour. It is easy to fit into an existing wardrobe.
The art of the pocket
- Chest pocket: underlined by a bronze rivet in the top corner. For a pen, a lighter, a pack of cards.
- Two cargo pockets: big enough for tools, a tobacco pouch, a hard drive.
- Inner patch pocket: discreet, with the stitching left visible. For what you don't leave lying around.
This work jacket keeps its original DNA. It adds just the right amount of style for daily use.
