Breton Shirts & Tops

For us, native Bretons, our tops and tee-shirts are always part of our wardrobe and not just for seaside holidays. Made of high quality cotton, they are renowned for being durable, versatile and fun to wear. At The Nautical Company we are delighted to offer some authentic Breton shirts made in Brittany, France. For true sailor tops, go for the traditional striped cotton shirt (the famous "La Marinière") as featured by so many artists and celebs. We also sell variations in more refined soft jersey cotton and more colourful tailored designs. A collection for the whole family to suit adults and children alike. A collection that will appeal to sailors, holiday makers and fashionistas.
