Boncoura French Work Jacket - Heavyweight Black Sashiko
$1,150.00
This jacket is based on a 1940's French work jacket, retaining the simple construction, compact pockets, and straightforward functionality characteristic of vintage French workwear while refining the proportions through Boncoura's design sense. Boncoura carefully adjusted the body width, length, and pocket placement to create a more balanced silhouette without losing the utilitarian character of the vintage design.
The jacket is made from Japanese milled black sashiko fabric, the type traditionally used for Japanese martial arts uniforms such as kendo and judo. Substantial and highly durable without feeling excessively rigid, the fabric combines strength with the flexibility needed for movement and gradually conforms to the body with wear. It has a deeply raised woven texture that creates subtle shadows across the surface, giving the otherwise solid black fabric an unusual amount of depth and character. Perfect in every sense, we expect nothing less from Boncoura.
