The stripes, the substance, the silhouette
After two years, we have finally perfected our BRETON JERSEY.
Crafted with a classic straight fit, not too fitted nor relaxed for everyday ease. With a subtle dropped shoulder, that keeps it's structure and a length that falls to the hips. Tuck in or wear gently draped, chic and flattering for everyday.
While it was demanded that a 'true' French navy uniform Breton have 21 stripes in 1858 to mark each of Napoleon's victories, we've adjusted that to 20. To ensure the spacing between the stripes delivers a flattering, effortlessly-finished look.
The thickness of the organic cotton creates a gentle structure that adds a luxury, cool feel. An iconic top, quintessentially French, yet something so inherently British too.
We celebrate the launch of this iconic new piece, with a bespoke label featuring the specially commissioned artwork 'Salt' by the British artist Sally Newton.
Soft & weighty, 100% certified organic cotton
Created from 100% certified organic cotton.
Knitted, dyed, made, and finished within a 16-mile radius in Portugal. Unbelievably, it can take thousands of miles of travel to make cotton jerseys like this.
Cotton and its organic status can be complicated. But this is the real thing. You can read more about why certified organic cotton is better here.
