Lightweight jacket with straight body and reinforced seams. Designed for practical tasks. Today it is used in workshops and gardens. At Jaulhac, Eugène Le Moult’s château, work jackets were worn during the day for specimen handling and chores.

Jaulhac doubled as a working base. Visitors assisted in cataloguing and maintenance of specimens. Work jackets were practical garments before salons began in the evening.
