Sailor shirt long sleeve

It is impossible to imagine Brittany without the traditional striped sailor shirt. Armor lux manufactures it from soft and supple cotton interlock, i.e. from two layers, which means that the knitted fabric does not warp. Double stitching on all hems increases durability, and the bound crew neckline is designed without an additional cuff. The cotton comes from controlled organic cultivation.

Tellingly, “armor” is the Breton word for sea, and “lux” cannot mean anything else than the magic light at Brittany’s coast. In keeping with their brand’s name, Armor lux design many of their jumpers and shirts, dresses, trousers, hats, caps and scarves in a maritime style. The company, based in Quimper and founded by a Swiss at the end of the 1930s, combines simple, comfortable cuts, classic colours and uncompromising quality of materials and craft. The main production facility is still the company’s headquarter in France while, to a small extent, branches in Madagascar and Tunisia support the production. Armor lux processes organic-certified cotton for the selected textiles we present you here.

The unisex sizes specified by Armor lux correspond to the following women’s or men’s sizes usually applied in Germany: XS (w36/m46), S (w38/m48), M (w40/m50), L (w42/m52), XL (w44/m54), XXL (w46/m56), EXL (w48/m58).
