L’Usine Bleue Moleskin Work Jacket – Brown
4th edition – 54 jackets total
This piece is inspired by the hard work of Clair Lesieur – an ancestor of the founder of L’Usine Bleue and a mining horse farrier who from 1924 wore moleskin in the May-sur-Orne mine in Normandy every day.
The L’Usine Bleue moleskin work jacket is made in a heavy, 100% French cotton moleskin that will keep you faithful company for a lifetime. Just like the French work jackets of yesteryear, it has a no nonsense construction, suited for tough chores like metal work or carpenting. The jacket fabric is sturdy and needs to be worn to become soft as “moleskin”.
A L’Usine Bleue project:
The ultimate workwear rediscovered
Moleskin is an ancient, very closely woven and dense fabric.
Moleskin is virtually windproof, some even rain-proof. It’s unusually warm relative to its thickness, but still breathes. It has very low friction which reduces wear and ”swish”. Its dense surface protects from pokes, scrapes and sparks. And not least, it’s extraordinarily hard-wearing, which made moleskin the preferred choice for French workwear for almost two centuries.
With the introduction of cheap synthetic materials, moleskin workwear was almost completely forgotten. L’Usine Bleue is proud the reintroduce French moleskin – the ultimate, natural workwear that will last for a lifetime!
This piece is inspired by the hard work of Clair Lesieur – a mining horse farrier who from 1924 wore moleskin in the May-sur-Orne mine in Normandy every day.

Christoffer –
Top quality and the jacket will last forever! Wonderful details and great pockets. I bought the jacket together with the matching trousers. A real gorgeous “working class hero”-suit. But this jacket will do great together to all sort of clothes. It will just add that little extra and make you shine. It’s been a long time since I felt this stylish and handsome! Vive la boutique lusine bleue! (Bought size M, I am 175 cm tall and my weigh 67 kg).
Taha –
I have always loved my moleskin jacket. Recently, after four years of use, I realized how beautifully it has aged. Even though I have gone down one size since I bought it, the jacket somehow finds a way to adapt to my body without looking out of place.
I can confirm its breathability and windproofing capabilities. On the occasions when I have worn it while riding my motorcycle, it has worked like a charm.
I can only hope that I age as beautifully as my moleskin jacket.
