I found this vintage double breasted chef's jacket from France circa 1950's while in Los Angeles for the weekend. The fabric is very stiff and starchy - it appears to be a heavy weight houndstooth oxford broadcloth that has been garment dyed in indigo. The high neck drop and the number of buttons reminded me of the peacoats worn by a Scottish herring boat crew that I had referenced for my gansey knitting project, and the starchy indigo fabric and patch pockets had a similar feel to a Haversack tunic.
