The Saint James Minquiers Moderne offers a fresh take on the classic Minquiers 10 in a navy and cream stripe. This Breton top, known as the Moderne, presents a more modern silhouette compared to its predecessor. It features long sleeves and a boat neckline, with a tailored fit that contours the body and arms. At just 185 grams (6.5oz), it is the lightest of our Breton shirts, making it ideal for warmer weather.
The Minquiers moderne is made from soft, high quality combed cotton. This striped Minquiers breton shirt is named for the rocks and islands of Minquiers, part of the Bailiwick of Jersey and near to Saint James' native coastline.
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.
