Vintage 1950s French Véritable Vachette Leather Jacket – XL (44-46)

A legacy of French craftsmanship. This 1950s Véritable Vachette leather jacket is a masterclass in understated elegance—crafted in France at a time when function and refinement lived side by side. Made from storm-resistant full-grain cowhide, the leather is supple, buttery-soft, and rich with character. Treated to withstand the elements yet designed with clean Parisian minimalism, it walks the line between rugged utility and elevated style.

The front is cut with precision—a clean zip closure, two zippered chest pockets, and a streamlined silhouette that speaks with quiet confidence. Inside, the original French moleskin lining adds breathable warmth and comfort, soft against the body while built for the demands of mid-century life. Restored original hardware ensures the jacket remains functional and true to its time, while subtle wear and tonal depth reflect the years it has lived.

The leather is in exceptional vintage condition—supple, strong, and free from structural flaws. Original zippers have been carefully serviced, and the moleskin lining remains intact with only light, age-appropriate signs of use. Nothing unnecessary added, nothing taken away—just decades of natural wear, preserved with intention.
