La Canadienne wool jacket

La Canadienne wool jacket

coming this fall – only a few pieces

An exceptional wool winter jacket from the vintage junkies at Fleurs de Bagne!

The classic Canadienne jacket was originally made in French Canada in the early 1900s as a robust and warm jacket for the sometimes harsh inland winters. It became popular in France in the 1940s and 1950s, not least from being worn by Jean Gabin and Jean-Paul Belmondi in the movie ”Un singe en hiver”.

The jacket is made from traditional Burel – an wool fabric which has been valued since at least the early middle ages for its warmth, toughness and resistance to water.
