In 2018, Garage Français launched its first Made in France selvedge pieces with a simple idea: to rediscover the authenticity of genuine vintage American denim clothing without falling into soulless imitation. This jacket is directly inspired by the first slim models that appeared in the United States in the 1930s. Initially worn by cowboys, they were quickly adopted by early bikers for their robustness, comfort, and ability to endure years without losing their character. Made from heavy 13 oz (375g) selvedge denim, it immediately gives that feeling of a solid, living garment that will naturally develop a patina over time. Its slim fit allows it to be easily worn under a leather jacket or a sleeveless puffer vest, while remaining comfortable enough for daily use. When temperatures allow, its dense denim naturally protects against wind and cold while maintaining the raw and timeless look characteristic of true American workwear pieces. Every detail has been crafted in the spirit of original vintage jackets: flat pleats on the front, chest pockets with selvedge trim, an inside pocket, a back cinch, and interior finishes mixing red and ecru threads. Even the map of France lining subtly recalls the French manufacturing of this piece. Paired with raw denim jeans, a pair of Converse, Vans, or Red Wing, it immediately creates a silhouette inspired by American garages, rock music, and the first generations of riders. A jacket designed to age well, to bear marks, and to become more beautiful with mileage.
