A distinctive vintage French workwear chore coat by Actimage S.A., constructed from durable 100% cotton twill and finished in the classic French blue colourway. This example stands out from traditional chore jackets thanks to its contrasting green pocket trims, concealed snap-button front, and original Compagnie Générale des Eaux company patch, giving it genuine industrial provenance.

French workwear jackets like this were designed for utility and durability, worn by workers across factories, workshops, transport services, and public infrastructure industries throughout France. The large front utility pockets provided practical storage for tools and equipment, while the heavyweight cotton construction was built to withstand daily use.

What makes this piece particularly interesting is the corporate-issued detailing. Compagnie Générale des Eaux, one of France's most historic utility companies, supplied water and environmental services across the country, and garments bearing company insignia have become increasingly sought after by collectors of authentic European workwear. The large graphic print on the reverse further enhances its unique character and gives it a strong vintage aesthetic.

Perfect styled with denim, fatigues, cargos, or work trousers for an authentic workwear-inspired look. Ideal for fans of vintage French chore coats, utility clothing, heritage workwear, and one-of-a-kind industrial garments with genuine history behind them.
