Heavy indigo blue twill weave cotton canvas jackets and pants have been the standard outfit of the worker in France since the beginning of the nineteen century. They are called « bleu de travail » or « bleu de chauffe » sometimes even called “skin of the devil” because these textiles have been built to be hyper resistant to washing and to provide good protection against dirt and injuries. The ones we find nowardays come from the 50’s. They still can be seen here in France, in countryside. They have a simple cut, three outer pockets, one inner Pocket, 5 button fasten. They have different wonderful tones of blue, from Bugati bright blue to indigo blue and deep Prussian blue. Beautiful over jeans or on a white shirt, a must have to wear everyday
