Blaze Orange 100% cotton Hunting Jacket - Le Laboureur

Most hunters already know it: those fluorescent safety vests you buy at the hardware store are basically wrapping paper.

They tear easily, snag on branches, flap loudly in the wind… and worst of all:

they make it impossible to reach your pockets.

The Le Laboureur Blaze Orange Hunting Jacket is built like an extra layer —
a second skin — but a smart one: practical, durable, and well-designed.

With quick access to your essentials:

Ammo, license, GPS, gloves, knife, earplugs, small kit…

Everything is right there — within reach, without compromise.

It offers the mandatory high-visibility safety —

but more importantly:
it has French workwear character and class — solid, functional, simple, elegant.

You wear it like a safety vest.
But it behaves like a real piece of workwear.
It protects.
It carries.
It endures.

Size Guide

French sizes are different from North American sizes, SO IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU TAKE THE TIME TO MEASURE YOUR CHEST SIZE in order to choose the right size.

Note:

• The fit is loose, typical of traditional workwear to facilitate movement. For a closer fit, consider sizing down. For example, I am 6'2" (188 cm) and can wear a size 3 for a snug fit or a size 4 for a looser fit.
• To measure chest circumference, wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your chest, under the armpits, keeping it snug but not tight. Lower your arms along your body to take the correct measurement.
