A very deep indigo blue French workwear biaude, dating from the early 20th century. Noted flaws - uneven colour throughout, several small frayed holes throughout the lower third, frayed hole at the left forearm, missing a right hand side collar button, mismatched cuff buttons, machine repair at the lower centre back - please see photos. Great condition otherwise, originally worn by cattle and horse dealers when driving their animals to markets in towns and cities, and would have been an important and well looked after item of clothing for rural workers, oversized to be worn as a respectable layer over regular work clothing, pin tuck pleated cuffs and collar, deep D chest pockets, layered buttons, beautiful, very deep indigo/almost black in colour, uniquely textured and weighty cotton which hangs and moves beautifully, wear layered with other workwear pieces, excellent quality, great style, suitable for everyone
