In detail
The yarn runs through the knit: the stripe is as crisp inside as outside, and does not fade in the wash.
Thicker than a standard T-shirt (160 gsm), and softer to the touch than the carded cotton of the 1858.
Cut and sewn in a family-run workshop in Portugal, specialising in striped jersey, which we have worked with since our beginnings.
Craftsmanship
The Breton shirt was born as the uniform of the French Navy’s sailors: 21 stripes, boat neck, thick cotton.
The Originale takes up that cut and those stripes in a softer combed cotton, made in a workshop in Portugal.
History and making
The fit is regular. Take your usual size; if you are between two sizes, take the larger one. Mathias is 1.77 m tall and wears an M. The size guide gives all flat measurements.
Not if you wash it at 30 °C and dry it flat. Avoid the tumble dryer, which can tighten the knit. The care guide explains each step.
Same cut and same boat neck. The Originale is made in Portugal in combed cotton, softer to the touch. The 1858 is knitted and sewn in Troyes in denser carded cotton, under the France Terre Textile label.
The Marinière Originale for men is the quintessential nautical staple, to wear all year round. In the Marine colourway, white stripes stand out against a deep navy ground, in a regular cut that's easy to pair, from jeans to dress trousers.
Knitted in soft, dense combed cotton, it offers a clean drape and everyday comfort. Made in Portugal in a workshop well versed in striped jersey.
