An authentic French workwear chore jacket by Adolphe Lafont, one of the most iconic and influential names in European workwear history. Founded in Lyon in 1844, Lafont became synonymous with durable utility clothing and played a major role in defining the classic French chore coat silhouette that continues to inspire modern workwear and streetwear brands today.

This example is finished in a striking green colourway and features traditional chore jacket construction, including a concealed front fastening, multiple utility pockets, and hard-wearing twill fabric designed for everyday industrial use. What makes this piece particularly interesting is its original company-issued detailing, with BOEUF ET LEGRAND printed to the chest pocket and large EBL branding across the back, giving the jacket authentic workshop character and a unique one-of-a-kind feel.

Originally worn by workers across French industry, garments like this were built to withstand demanding environments while remaining practical and comfortable throughout the working day. Today, these jackets are sought after for their timeless design, relaxed fit, and rich connection to European workwear heritage.

Perfect styled with denim, fatigues, carpenter trousers, or cargos for an authentic vintage workwear look. An excellent piece for collectors of French workwear, heritage clothing, and industrial garments with genuine history.
