The term “bourgeron” comes from the Picardy dialect “bourge” (kind of canvas). The burgeon jacket, also called “coltin” or “treillis”, has its origins in the army and the peasantry. In the 19th century it equipped both the military and the peasants. Made from a thick cotton canvas, called moleskin ("mole skin", mole skin ), it was recognized for its robustness. Later it became the “blue” of the worker or the “coltin” of the carpenter. Recognizable by its signet collar, its three exterior patch pockets, its interior pocket, its 5 buttons and its buttoned cuffs, it is particularly attractive for its moleskin with an aged appearance, all at the same time thick, supple and fluffy. Its cut is slim, loose at the waist, and totally unisex.

Available in indigo blue, black, cetadon blue, sage green and saffron yellow.

History of moleskin:

The origin of the word comes from the English term “mole skin” which literally means “mole skin” in reference to the feel of the material. ...+
