1980s | French Workwear | Indigo Chore Jacket – Deadstock with Tag - L

Description:

Item: Deep-indigo cotton drill chore jacket with five-button front, chest pocket and two lower patch pockets. Original factory swing tag still attached; crisp red contrast stitching and unworn fabric handle.

Era: 1980s

Brand: Unbranded (French Workwear)

Condition: Deadstock. Clean, unworn cloth with no marks, no fade and no structural issues. Buttons firm; pockets immaculate.

Provenance Note: A rare deadstock example of late-century European workwear—still carrying its original paper tag. The deep, unfaded indigo and crisp stitching are exactly what collectors look for when hunting untouched bleu de travail. A superb piece for archive-focused buyers or anyone wanting a pristine starting point that will age beautifully with wear.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.

Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.
