A deeply storied pair of French bleu de travail workwear overalls in softened indigo cotton twill. Constructed in a harringbone weave with classic utilitarian details throughout; zip chest pocket, tool pockets, and adjustable suspenders. This piece features extensive repairs, layered patching across the legs, visible mending, and natural distressing that has led to a rich, tonal patina consistent with decades of labor that cannot be replicated. All original side buttons were missing and have been thoughtfully replaced. This is a true archival workwear piece, built for function, worn into beauty.
