STOCK UPDATE 22/04/2021: sadly our manufacturer has decided to stop producing this colour so we cannot restock once sizes have sold out. Apologies. Instead, we are now stocking the plain deep red one, see our men's Breton sweater, deep red wool.
A beautiful authentic dark wine red and navy blue striped Breton sweater from renowned Breton marine label Royal Mer Bretagne. This is the traditional fisherman's sweater better known as "Le Chandail Breton" in 100% high quality pure wool with ribbed cuff but no hem. A lovely trendy jumper perfect to wear with a pair of jeans, ideal for week-ends and sailing.
This is a body contoured fit with a left shoulder buttoning, high neck and a signature label branding on one arm. Each button is shaped with a small anchor.
A high quality and well finished garment that will test the length of time.
100% pure new wool, hand wash only.
Medium stitch knit - our 6'2" (1.88m) model with a chest size of 42 inch wears an SIZE 6-XL on the 2nd picture here because of his height.
Please note that the red is a really nice deep red colour although difficult to get through the photos.

LABEL: Royal Mer, made in Brittany, France
