Marinières femme

In summer, choose jersey Breton striped shirts, such as Etel or 3/4-sleeve models. In winter or mid-season, opt for interlock Breton striped shirts, such as Lesconil, Rempart or Amiral, which are better suited to being worn under a jacket, a pea coat or a knit.

The Lesconil, Rempart and Amiral models differ in their style and finishes. The Lesconil is the classic Breton striped shirt, with a close-fitting cut and a 260 g/m² interlock knit. The Rempart offers a more modern version, with a contrasting red stripe, a collar insert inspired by the French Navy and a heavy jersey knit. The Amiral takes up the codes of the original navy Breton striped shirt, with its characteristic 21 white stripes, a fitted cut, two side slits at the hem and a 260 g/m² interlock knit.

Cotton can be found in various forms depending on the yarn used and how it is knitted. Interlock (260g/m2) refers to a dense, heavy knit with a soft, smooth, comfortable feel that provides good hold and is particularly suitable for winter styles. Rustic jersey (250g/m2) has a more raw and textured appearance, with a slightly irregular yarn reminiscent of traditional marine knits; drier to the touch, it softens with washing. Jersey (140g/m2) offers a supple, smooth, and lightweight knit, pleasant for everyday wear. Rib knit, on the other hand, is recognizable by its vertical relief and natural elasticity, which provides support while accommodating movement.
