Once the uniform of French sailors, later taken up by artists and free-thinkers along the Rive Gauche, the Breton shirt, or marinière, has long since settled into everyday dress. Our version is cut from a smooth cotton jersey, with familiar horizontal stripes and a relaxed, easy shape. The collar band and gussets borrow from workshop smocks, simple over-garments worn in studios to protect clothing from paint or clay, adding a quiet note of utility to an otherwise classic piece. It layers easily under a jacket, but holds its own just as well, with the kind of understated appeal that has made it a staple from Toulouse to Tokyo. - 100% Cotton - Made in Portugal - Long Sleeve - Mock Neck
