Product History

The "blue" workwear, known as "coltin": Workwear is still widely associated with the "bleu de travail," which finds its origin in its famous Prussian blue color (or Berlin blue) discovered at the beginning of the 18th century. Very inexpensive to produce and easy to clean, it imposed itself in maritime and military trades, then in industry to quickly become that of the workers, to the point of becoming a social label, or even a symbol of protest during the great strikes of May 68 where we see "bleus" burn. It was then that it changed shoulders to dress students and began to inspire the great couturiers. It becomes an essential basic of our wardrobes for its sobriety and timelessness.

History of moleskin: Moleskin is to Europe what denim is to the United States. This very dense and tight cotton armor, related to satin, evokes leather by its finish that covers it. The origin of the word comes from the English term "mole skin" which literally means "mole skin" in reference to the touch of the material. For its protective quality it becomes the queen material of workwear that originally equipped the workers of the steel mills of Sheffield in England. Across the Channel it becomes "the blue of heat" of our mechanics and steam locomotive drivers. Nowadays, it is in this robust fabric that the corporate clothing of the Compagnons du Devoir is made. For the latter, there are color codes by trade: ecru for stonemasons, black for carpenters and roofers, blue for masons or marine carpenters. Resistant, with a beautiful wear, its fabric adapts to you and becomes like a second skin after a few wears.
