**An iconic design, knitted in France since 1938**
The stripes on a Breton shirt were originally designed to help sailors pick out a fellow mariner who had fallen overboard. The stripes have become an iconic French design, worn by everyone from John Wayne to James Dean to Audrey Hepburn to Andy Warhol to Pablo Picasso to — well, you get the idea.
Armor-Lux’s take on the Breton is an ultra-versatile piece that matches with darn near everything in your closet. Upgraded for the summer months, their latest rendition of the Breton uses a breezy, lightweight linen that’s blended with the softest combed cotton that Armor Lux spins, dyes, and combs themselves. Wear it boldly to the lake for a summertime cookout, and pack it along for your vacation travels—this shirt fits neatly in a carry-on and feels incredible in any climate. We humbly advise picking up a couple, because, if our experience is any indicator, one simply won’t be enough.
