We return to our favorite mill in Japan which is dedicated to recreating the most iconic workwear and military fabrics from around the world. They went to France again, to recreate the famous moleskin used in the region's historic work jackets. This is a piece of fabric history you can wear today - the Repro French Worker Moleskin.
Note: We recommend going up one size in this fabric.
Our partner mill in Japan has painstakingly and faithfully reproduced this fabric from a vintage garment it acquired. The French Work Jacket is an icon. The old versions were constructed from one of our favorite fabrics - moleskin. Most notable is the way moleskin combines ruggedness and refinement. It has a history as a utilitarian, hard-wearing fabric and this version instantly builds that personality with real heft. At 12 ounces, it's one of the heavier versions we've offered and you feel it. Burly and thick, the impressively tight weave moleskin is known for lending an indestructible feel. Refinement comes in the form of pure felt-like suppleness, approaching a thick leathery hand. It's a special combination. The matt finish on the black version makes it stand out. Knowing this fabric has a true history driving the details makes it even better.
Choose either our classic straight, slim or skinny fit. More details available in our fit guide.

"About a year ago, a coworker introduced me to Gustin (he rocks some of your pants to the office on the regular) and I have been watching the releases ever since. About three months ago, I finally backed a campaign. Since then, I have been so happy with all the pieces I have received."

"My 1968s came in the mail yesterday…They're amazing! From the fit (thank you for all the hand-holding!) to the detailing, I'm blown away. Just tremendous quality at any price point, but the value here is off the charts."
