When it comes to traditional breton sweaters witht the shoulder opening, you have two choices. The straight cut Breton sweater which is a body hugging type or this one which is designed as a normal jumper shape with a ribbed welt and ribbed cuffs. It is usually more flattering for men carrying a little more weight around the waist. Made in 100% high quality new wool from renowned Breton marine label Royal Mer, this Breton jumper is in plain navy blue colour with its classic left shoulder buttoning. Signature branding on all buttons. Very similar to the Binic.
A high quality and well finished garment that will test the length of time. Depending on the way you like wear it, some people like it with the first button un-done (close to the neckline), some prefer it with all buttons on. It is a matter of individual style.
Internal cream band in the shoulder opening with glossy branded buttons and internal cream/navy stripy design in the top back. The stripy effect is only internal, not visible externally and only concentrated in the upper section of the back (See close-up picture).
100% pure new wool, hand wash only - sizes from medium to 3XL. Our model (6 foot 2, 42 inch chest) here wears an XL/T6.
