Jacket with shawl collar, piped cuffs, and tie belt. Structured yet light. Today it remains a refined garment for house wear. The same format appeared at Jaulhac, Eugène Le Moult’s château, during salons that mixed natural science with social evenings.
Jaulhac gave continuity to cultural life despite wartime disruption. The butterfly collection was safeguarded there, drawing natural scientists and collectors. Smoking jackets suited the tone of rural soirées that balanced elegance with informal refuge.
