The blue de travail jacket is a classic French work jacket that was and still is worn primarily by farmers and artisans. It literally means "work blue" and refers to the deep blue color (indigo or cobalt). The jacket has become a true fashion classic. It's made of sturdy cotton, has a straight fit, buttons, and pockets. Simple, yet full of character, and the older they get, the more beautiful they become. This piece is by Saint James, and although that brand is primarily known for its Breton stripes, they also produced workwear in the past, such as this jacket from the 1970s. The jacket is unused, which in itself is a rarity.
