Classic original Breton shirt from French label Saint-James in cream and navy blue. This long sleeved top, "Minquiers Moderne", is made in 100% summer lightweight jersey combed cotton with a round neck and a branded label on one arm. Typically worn loose fitted. If you are after a warmer top, check the thicker cotton version.
100% cotton, machine washable at 30 degree C
Important:in 2016 Saint James changed the sizing of the MINQUIERS 10, the original garment(listed as "OLD"), to replace it by the MINQUIERS MODERNE (listed as "NEW"). It is still the same cotton, same colour, just a sizing adjustment. It is imperative to check our SIZING below for full details, especially if you have purchased a Minquiers 10 in the past.
Note for the ladies: this top is designed for men so we do not recommend it unless you are very tall. If you are petite, please do not buy. We would advise to look at those cut for women only, see our full range of women's striped Breton tops.
