c.1920s French Workwear Shirt – Indigo Cotton with Star-Like Speckled Pattern & Visible Repairs

 

An incredible and rare c.1920s French workwear shirt in indigo blue cotton, scattered with tiny white specks that resemble a night sky full of stars. The fabric has developed a beautiful natural sun-fade over time, giving it rich tonal variation. Patched and repaired by hand, this piece tells its own story of labor, utility, and endurance.

 

A true gem of early 20th-century French workwear—shirts of this quality and age are increasingly hard to find.
