We perfected the fit of our best-selling French Workman's Jacket for women in a colorful range of cotton herringbone twills.
The traditional workman’s jacket was designed in the late 1800s as a practical, protective layer for the French working class to wear over their clothes, complete with numerous patch pockets to hold tools and spare parts. We designed ours to have all the function you need, and nothing you don’t with carefully considered details and a perfect fit.

Cotton herringbone twill (or HBT) was most notably used in military fatigues in WWII, but has since been co-opted for use in everyday garments for its hard-wearing quality and subtly patterned weave.
We garment-dyed and washed our jackets to give them a broken-in look and feel, reminiscent of some of our own favorite vintage HBT garments that only continue to improve with each wear.

"Hey Everyone, I just put on my olive-colored coat and while I had it on, three things came to mind. I'm six foot, 195, and the Extra Large fit me perfectly, not too tight for when I'll layer. 2nd, Effortless Style, this is a casual jacket that announces, "tell me you have panache, without saying it out loud. " and Finally, It's comfy, and casual, yet elevated. Simply put, I FRIGGIN LOVE THIS COAT!!! Respect to this store, their service, and their products. ~Eddie in Tennessee"
