The Breton shirt known as the Aviron Mariniere, by Armor-lux. This is one of the first Breton shirts that we stocked. It is made from a heavier weight carded cotton that is soft to the touch and improves with age. It could be considered the original Armor-Lux Breton shirt with the classic cream and navy colour way. The garment is in the traditional style and cut with long sleeves and crew neck. This is the heavy-weight of our Breton shirts with an average of 370g (13oz).

Founded in Quimper, Brittany, in 1938 by Swiss engineer Walter Hubacher, Armor-Lux brings French maritime heritage to everyday clothing. Its name unites Armor, the Breton word for sea or coastal region, with Lux, meaning light. Originally producing underwear, the company introduced ready-to-wear collections in 1970 and became renowned for its classic Breton striped shirts. Working with natural fibres such as cotton and wool, Armor-Lux maintains knitting workshops in Quimper. Regional craftsmanship remains central to the brand, alongside an emphasis on responsible sourcing, including organic and fair-trade cotton within selected collections.
