Since its founding in 1927, Vétra has continued its legacy and expertise by manufacturing all its iconic garments in its own workshop. Among these, the moleskin jacket holds an iconic place, having been worn by numerous workers before being supplanted after the war by double-breasted jackets.

French moleskin, also known as "mole skin" in English, is an extremely durable sateen due to its high number of picks (weft threads). It is an emblematic fabric of French work clothing that Vétra has been offering since its inception in 1927.

Vétra was also the first brand to offer a wide range of colors for its moleskin jackets, with the original historical colors being blue and black, which are less prone to showing dirt. The authenticity of the moleskin and Vétra's expertise in over-dyeing make this work jacket a staple of both the men's wardrobe and the rich history of French textiles.
