Ladies sweatshirt

This Breton classic is refreshingly maritime with its 11 woven-in stripes. Armor lux makes it from easy-grip French terry sweat, a robust, shape-retaining and easy-care sweatshirt fabric that combines the properties of lightweight single jersey with those of a heavy sweatshirt fabric. It is also often referred to as summer sweat and is ideal for slightly cooler summer days. The cotton used comes from controlled organic cultivation. The sweatshirt has a casual, straight fit with elasticated neck and sleeve cuffs. It goes perfectly with jeans, but can also be teamed with a sporty summer skirt.

"Armor" is the Breton word for sea, and "lux" can only mean the light on the coast. A maritime style, in any case, is what characterises many of the garments produced by Armor lux. The company, set up by a Swiss man in the Breton town of Quimper at the end of the 1930s, manufactures sweaters, shirts, dresses, trousers, hats, caps and scarves. In the 1960s, Armor lux established its own dyeing workshop so that all manufacturing processes were gathered under one roof, from fabric production to quality controls. In the 1970s, they introduced their first major collection. Since then, the label stands for simple, comfortable cuts, classic colours and an uncompromising approach regarding quality in terms of material and workmanship. For the most part, the production takes place at the headquarters in France and to a small extent in factories in Madagascar and Tunisia.
