The Saint James Meridien Moderne represents the pinnacle of luxury within the Saint James Breton shirt collection. Made from soft, sturdy carded cotton, it offers great comfort and a little more warmth for later in the season. This classic striped sailor shirt features long sleeves and a boat neckline, now slightly tailored in a contemporary, form-fitting design that contours the body and arms. It is a heavyweight Breton shirt, weighing approximately 380g (13.5oz.), combining durability with an elegant fit.
Saint James clothing was born in 1889 in the town of its namesake, located a few miles from the sea, and close to Mont Saint-Michel in Southern Normandy. The Saint James story began when the Legallais family started to spin and dye the local wool and sell the skeins and wool balls to the shops of Brittany and Normandy, later spinning the wool into shirts for the fishermen. Leon Legallais, the then mayor or Saint-James transformed this workshop into a large industry and in 1929 the company went public.
