Black moleskin extremely rare* French origin

COLLECTORS ITEM

*Final sale*

Black French moleskin jackets are harder to find because they were less commonly produced compared to other colors, such as indigo or navy. Traditionally, indigo and blue tones were standard for laborers and artisans, as these colors were more affordable to dye and practical for hiding dirt and stains. Black moleskin jackets, on the other hand, were typically reserved for more specialized professions, such as butchers, railway workers, or those in managerial roles, giving them a distinct association with higher status. Their rarity, combined with the patina and fading that black fabric develops over time, makes them particularly sought after by collectors and vintage enthusiasts.
