Jacket with upright collar ad straight cut. The button front and patch pockets added utility, while the fabric gave it dignity without weight. Today it remains suited to interiors or summer formality. At Jaulhac, Eugène Le Moult’s château, colonel-style jackets appeared at evening salons, worn by guests who combined rural leisure with cultivated exchange.


Jaulhac hosted private soirées where naturalists and collectors exchanged ideas. Formal jackets provided a note of ceremony, fitting events that united rural hospitality with scientific focus during wartime.
