Adolphe Lafont – Made in France - 1970s, early 1980s
Founded in 1844 in Lyon, Adolphe Lafont is considered one of the pioneering brands of French workwear. Originally known for outfitting railway workers and artisans, Lafont developed garments that prioritized durability, utility, and clean design—many of which would come to define the now-iconic bleu de travail.
This particular piece, likely from the 1970s, features sun-faded moleskin cotton in rich indigo tones, with natural wear across the collar, cuffs, and sleeves. Faint paint marks, a small front repair, and visible fraying add character without compromising structure.
Approximate Fit: Large
Measurements:
P2P - 23.5
LENGTH - 26.5
SHOULDER - 18
SLEEVE - 24
Our items are vintage and have their own personalities, having lived whole lives tucked away in a French person's closet before embarking on their journey across the ocean to us. With that being said, many items show wear, signs of distress, fading, patchwork, darning, etc. While we do our best to photograph each nuance, but please note that not all imperfections may be visible or listed.
The color of the garments vary screen to screen.
