A beautiful piece of French vintage clothing, hand-selected during my recent trip to Paris. Made from 100% linen, this sailor shirt features a traditional square neckline with navy striped trim, short sleeves, and an embroidered anchor patch on the chest.
The linen has a substantial, slightly stiff texture that gives the shirt its beautiful structure. A few small holes have been carefully mended by me to preserve the original fabric and extend the life of this special piece.
One of my favorite details is the faded lettering along the back hem. Its original meaning is unknown, but it adds another little piece of history to this vintage shirt.
Wear it with your favorite denim, linen pants, or tucked into a skirt. A wonderful piece of French maritime-inspired clothing with so much character.
