Mariniere Originale

Dear Gauvain,
I purchased your T-shirt, La Mariniere Originale style for my brother’s birthday. I was surprised when it arrived much earlier than I expected, beautifully presented in tissue and seal, with a lovely little Tour Eiffel key chain souvenir of the 2024 Paris Olympiques. How thoughtful and generous! The T-shirt was of the highest quality, as described and my brother was absolutely delighted.
Thank you so much for your care and expertise.
Carole

Très heureux de cet achat

J'ai acheté cet article et j'en suis très content, quand je passe devant certaines vitrines dans lesquelles je vois une marinière, je la trouve toujours moins belle que celle de Gauvain.

Frequently asked questions

Which size should I choose?

The fit is regular. Take your usual size; if you are between two, take the larger one. Arthur is 1.75 m tall and wears an M. The size guide gives all the 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.

What is the difference with the long sleeve?

Same workshop in Portugal and same combed cotton. The short sleeve is a lighter jersey (160 gsm) with a crew neck; the long sleeve is thick cotton (220 gsm) with the sailors' boat neck.
