I was so happy when my shirt arrived. It was packaged beautifully. I have always loved stripes. It is a classic looking shirt . The quality of my shirt is exceptional, it is very soft and so comfortable to wear. I highly recommend purchasing from Gauvain because there are many companies that sell similar shirts but the quality isn't there. I am definitely going to purchase another shirt from Gauvain Paris.

Really happy with this marinière. The fabric feels substantial without being heavy, the cut is flattering, and it holds its shape well. Classic piece that looks more expensive than it is.

Amazing Quality and Fit. I selected my size based on my usual fit with Banana Republic clothing in Canada and thank goodness. If I followed the size chart, I would have selected medium, however, I chose large.

In detail
What makes the Originale
220gsm combed cotton
Thicker than a standard T-shirt (160 gsm), and softer to the touch than the carded cotton of the 1858.
1workshop, in Portugal
Cut and sewn in a family-run workshop in Portugal, specialising in striped jersey, which we have worked with since our beginnings.
Craftsmanship
The sailors’ Breton shirt, made for every day
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
Frequently asked questions
Which size should I choose?
The fit is regular. Take your usual size; if you are between two sizes, take the larger one. Teresa is 1.65 m tall and wears an S. The size guide gives all flat measurements.
Does it shrink in the wash?
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.
How is it different from the 1858?
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.
About the ecru colourway
The Marinière Originale for women, Écru colourway, is the timeless choice: navy stripes on an ecru ground, feminine cut, to wear from everyday to evenings out. Famous for gracing the runways of Paris Fashion Week.
Knitted in soft, dense combed cotton, it keeps its shape and brightness wash after wash. Made in Portugal.
