UnWorked Wear


NWT 1950's-60's Deadstock French work jacket, according to the tag it is unparalleled in quality and guaranteed for 6 months from the manufacture date. Made from densely woven Moleskin fabric, and heading towards Yves Klein Blue in color. Moleskin was used for a lot of French and European Workwear (a substitute for denim), and is being utilized in current collections by Dries, Margiela etc. The heavy cotton is woven tight, then sheered on one side which creates a short soft pile on the inside of clothing and a comfy but hard wearing windproof exterior. Picked up at Mister Freedom here in LA.
