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 our 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 our workshop in Portugal.
History and making
Originale or 1858?

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, same boat neck and same weight (220 gsm). The Originale is made in Portugal in combed cotton, softer to the touch. The 1858 is knitted and sewn in Troyes in more structured carded cotton, under the France Terre Textile label.
