I Found an Authentic French Chore Jacket!

[JasonFrankenstein]

I like it. As a welder I was interested, but at 250 euro, I'd burn that thing up within a year. Better as a fashion piece!

Quality not quantity ❤ love the blue on you! Black would be nice too!

im obsessed with french work jackets aka bleu de travail - mont st michel's jacket was on my list and i still want to get it.

[biggdogg]

I like the indigo ! Looks good on you too.

[valerieann]

It looks beautiful on you! Very nice taste, Ariel!

[daltonfifield]

Looks good, but if it were me I'd get one in grey or olive drab green.

I am 5th generation nyc dockbuilder union worker, i have photos of both grandpas working building jettis in the ocean or footing for bridges, anything with construction and water. I have some of his hand tools that i still use and will pass down to my son. Same with my jacket and boots.

In times of instability and protests in streets, it's a good idea to wear this kind of camouflage.

This guy really gets around. I wish I cud travel

[tylerlucente]

I'm guessing your not actually working in you "work" wear

[valerieann]

Nice to know we can get that quality, new, in Paris for half the price of New York!

[mquinnusa]

100% worth it. I have worn the same black jacket for more than 20 years. Nobody believes me..😮

You’ll find the proper ones in BHV in Paris. Downstairs in the hardware section. About 30€

[Chrisbs]

Especially with the exchange rates. Good job

[Shotter]

You can buy it for USD 275 from Huckberry (EUR 258). And you don't even have to go all the way to France.

That’s just about $400 anyway… what $300 something. So a discount but not so big.

uncle otis here in toronto sells le mont st. michel. they make the og french work jacket in the famous blue colour. it's a very thick moleskin cotton. very robust.

[raina]

Is this where "blue collar" worker comes from? 🤔

$400? maybe if it’s suede or cashmere? U can get a chore jacket from good brands for 180-$220 and even that’s too much if it’s cotton, as these are easy to make….hence workwear. Not a huge fan, these coats have no taper so they lay and make u look very squarish. Also they look really bad buttoned up for this reason. Maybe a really heavy canvas might look ok buttoned and was actually used for actual work wear. A canvas unstructured blazer looks much better in my opinion. I do like a chore coat though when I fly. Loose, comfortable and big pockets for all the stuff u have to take off going through security. They look fairly good unbuttoned with your hands in your pockets to bring everything in a bit.

$400? For what? I don't think so!
