MENS 100% COTTON STRIPED BRETON SWEATER

Backstory

Breton stripes hail from Brittany (or Bretagne) in Northern France, which explains their name. Thick cotton shirts with these stripes became part of the uniform for seamen in 1858, because they were decreed easy to spot in a sea emergency and because the fabric was so hard-wearing. Since then, Breton tops have become something of a French stereotype—with an enduring simplicity that looks good on guys of every, um, stripe: Picasso, James Dean and Andy Warhol were all fans.
