Men shirt jacket

Classic shirt jacket whose strong cotton fabric shows a beautiful melange effect. A little elastane increases the wearing comfort and shape retention. The jacket sleeves are equipped with elbow patches made of outer fabric. Two chest pockets with buttoned flap accommodate small items of daily use.

Long ago, dockworkers in Genoa wore work clothes made of a strong cotton fabric dyed with indigo. Since Genoa belonged to France at the time, this went by the French name "Bleu de Gênes", which in English-speaking countries became "Blue Jeans". Against the backdrop of this history, the Blue de Gênes label was launched in Kolding, Denmark, in 2010. But Ole Madsen, the mastermind behind it, has long since gone beyond jeans. He manufactures authentic clothing from selected materials, whose timeless design literally endures the years. Production takes place almost exclusively in Europe, with Blue de Gênes working with small, family-run businesses that are each specialists in their field. Thus, the jeans come from northern Italy, some pants from Turkey and the shirts from Portugal.

The garment may rub off onto light-coloured materials such as other garments, furniture and upholstery fabrics.
