The story
The Chasseur Bleu is our bestseller and the original colourway - classic French workwear blue that looks better the longer you own it. The heavyweight cotton starts structured, then softens and fades like good denim, picking up a character that's yours alone. Two patch pockets, reinforced stitching, and the signature back pocket you won't find on any other jacket. Wear it over a tee in summer, over knitwear in winter. A relaxed workwear cut – if you’re between sizes, size down.
The detail
Relaxed workwear fit. Our model is 5'8 and wears a Small.
The Chasseur is cut like a traditional French work jacket: roomy through the body, with a dropped shoulder and generous sleeves. It comes up bigger than most modern jackets. If you're between sizes, size down. Take your usual size only if you want a looser fit, or plan to wear it over a chunky knit.

Fabric: 100% heavyweight cotton, pre-washed.
Construction: reinforced stitching on stress points, classic button closure, two front patch pockets, signature back pocket detail.
Care: machine wash cold inside-out with similar colours. Hang to dry. Iron on medium if needed. Minor shrinkage may occur on first wash - the cotton is pre-washed but cotton always tightens slightly.
Colour note: the natural cotton dye may transfer slightly in the first one or two washes. Wash separately first time.
The back pocket is our signature detail - a nod to the original French hunting jackets, where it would have held game or tools. We've kept it because we like that it's useful, unusual, and not on any other jacket.
Why we made it
Lucky Beau is a small, independent British menswear brand. We make the jackets we couldn't find anywhere else - clothes with the weight and character of vintage workwear, without the vintage price tag.
The Chasseur is our take on the bleu de travail - the simple, durable jacket that French gamekeepers and rural workers have worn for over a century. We've kept the silhouette and the weight, refined the cut for a modern shoulder, and added a few details of our own.
Designed by Ben in the UK. Made overseas. Loved here.

Common questions
It's a relaxed workwear cut, so it comes up a little bigger than most modern jackets. If you're between sizes, go down one. Most people who swap sizes swap down. Take your usual size if you like a looser fit or want room for a heavy knit underneath.
Take the larger size if you'll layer with knits. Take the smaller size if you mostly wear it over a t-shirt and want a cleaner shape. Either way, you have 30 days to return or exchange via our returns page.
The fabric is pre-washed, so the worst of the loose dye is already out. We still recommend washing separately for the first one or two cycles, especially with light colours.
It's pre-washed, so most of the shrinkage is already done. Expect minor settling on the first wash - typically less than half a size.
