Vetra
【Vetra】French Chore Jacket Brushed Canvas Graphite
Product Description
Vétra has manufactured in its own French factory since 1927 all its garments, thus benefiting from a unique savoir-faire (know how).
This organic brushed canvas chore jacket is one of the Vétra classic garments since 1927, the famous "Bleu de travail" - the French Dungaree Jacket.
The colours are also authentic: Bugatti blue and black, easy to produce and clean were the main colours up to the 50s, when hydrone and navy replaced them; the blueish grey / postman blue was the colour of the ... postmen.
The jacket was part of the factory worker triptych outfit alongside the fatigue pants & the coverall.
French Work Jacket
Originating in the late 19th century, the French work jacket shares a similar timeline with denim jeans. Worn by railroad workers, engineers, and laborers, it was typically made from durable twill or moleskin. These jackets were warm, resilient, and easy to repair with patches. The iconic three-to-four pocket design made it exceptionally practical for carrying tools and small essentials.
