The conception of Bleu de Chauffe began with a simple idea: to reinterpret French work bags of the 20th century, creating them for the modern world while staying loyal to what made them unique and what gave them a soul as they aged: leathers and canvas of the highest quality produced entirely by French artisans.
Subsequently, it seemed only natural to expand our collection with the made in France work jacket, named after our origins, and the same legacy of French workwear of which we are the successors. While holding ourselves to the same high standards of production as for our bags, our Germinal jackets are entirely made in France with organic cotton moleskin spun and woven in France and whose tight weave makes it smooth to the touch, yet extremely resistant. The buttons are made of recycled vegetable resin.
Our “bleu de chauffe” Germinal has been restyled with more contemporary and elegant lines, while respecting the emblematic workwear codes that make this jacket unique: straight and loose-fitting cut, shirt collar, three patch pockets, an inside pocket (large enough to fit a Smartphone). It can be worn over a t-shirt, a long-sleeved shirt or even over a winter sweater. Its casual look makes it the ideal garment to wear every day, and elegant enough to be worn to work or as evening wear.
