Authentic original Breton shirt for men from French label Saint-James in white with navy blue stripes for men. This is the Minquiers Moderne. 100% summer lightweight jersey combed cotton, round neck, long sleeves with a branded label on one arm. Typically worn loose fitted. If you are after a warmer top, check the thicker cotton version.

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. Please do measure your old one to compare before ordering.
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.
