MOLESKIN by BDP.
Moleskin is often presented as the French counterpart of American "denim" (jeans),
both being frequently dyed with indigo and intended for the same use. Mainly used for work clothes of workers and craftsmen. Moleskin clothing can exist in different colors depending on the trade for which it is made: white for painters, black for carpenters, blue for factory workers…
Its popularity quickly grew due to its exceptional strength and ability to protect against the elements.
Moleskin fabric is woven from thick, dense cotton, giving it unmatched durability.
Originally, particularly in England, it was coated with a thin layer of wax to make it waterproof and windproof, adding to its functional qualities. Today, although wax is no longer routinely used, Moleskine fabric retains its resistance to the elements and its robust appearance, while offering a soft and comfortable feel.
For Bleu de Paname, moleskin perfectly embodies the spirit of their creations. By choosing this iconic workwear fabric for their counter jackets, trousers and fatigues, they reaffirm their commitment to authenticity and quality.
Each garment thus becomes a tribute to the history of work, to resistance and to functionality.
In the Vosges, a region renowned for its textile industry, Telatex has carved out a niche for itself thanks to its expertise in the manufacture of high-end fabrics. Their collaboration with Bleu de Paname for the creation of moleskin counter jackets, trousers and fatigues is the result of a partnership where the passion for a job well done is reflected in each piece. The manufacturing process respects traditions while integrating modern technologies to guarantee regularity and perfection of finishes. Each step, from the selection of fibres to dyeing and weaving, is meticulously carried out in compliance with the highest standards.
Bleu de Paname’s moleskin jackets and trousers stand out for their elegant cut and attention to detail. Combining Telatex’s expertise with Bleu de Paname’s creativity, these garments offer a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, ready to face the challenges of everyday life with style and robustness.
Moleskin fabric, a symbol of workwear, has stood the test of time while maintaining its appeal and functionality. Whether for a counter jacket, trousers or fatigues, moleskin gives life to durable and timeless pieces, ready to accompany the adventures of those who wear them.
