The Breton Tee

Est. 2022

A nod to the classic French stripe we love.

The Breton Tee
THE ORIGIN

You’ll find the classic French sailor’s breton tee on our very first mood boards. For our 2016 launch, we set out to update the style without compromising what makes it so iconic. Our Breton Tee features a cropped, boxy body, dropped shoulders, wide sleeves, and a true boatneck—finished with a grosgrain stripe down the side seam, a quiet signature that signals it's ours. All in a medium-weight cotton that only gets softer with every wash.

What We Love

The Breton is the most effortless thing you can reach for and still look entirely considered. It never looks “dated”, it layers easily and it dresses up or down. Machine-washable and made to be worn on repeat, the Breton has never been a trend. It's the je nais se quois signature you come back to, year over year.

The Evolution

The Breton is available in long sleeve, short sleeve, and as a dress. In addition to core colorways, every season you discover a spectrum of stripes worth collecting.
