Le Mont St Michel Thurin – Breton Striped Shirt – Offwhite / Navy Off

Le Mont St Michel Thurin – Breton Striped Shirt – Offwhite / Navy

A maritime classic from a French heritage brand established in 1913.

Few garments capture timeless French style quite like the Breton striped shirt, known in France as the marinière. The Le Mont St Michel Thurin follows in the footsteps of a style embraced by icons from Pablo Picasso to John Wayne. More than a garment, the marinière embodies a distinctive part of French national heritage.

Navy stripes against an offwhite background give the Thurin its unmistakable maritime character. Faithful to the classic codes of the marinière in both its cut and its spirit, it brings traditional textile craftsmanship into an everyday wardrobe.

Traditional French Knitted Cotton

Crafted from 100% cotton jersey knitted in France using traditional techniques, the Thurin has a substantial, textured feel that combines comfort, durability and structure. Its hard-wearing construction reflects the practical spirit of authentic maritime clothing.

The finished garment is manufactured in Portugal, bringing French textile heritage together with European garment-making expertise.

Classic Maritime Design & Fit

The traditional straight cut offers a relaxed appearance while maintaining a classic shape. Its slightly widened boat neckline, horizontal stripes and long sleeves stay true to the timeless Breton sailor shirt. Wear it on its own or layered beneath a French chore jacket.
