A beautiful piece of French maritime history, hand-selected during my recent trip to Paris. This vintage sailor shirt features a soft, faded blue-gray cotton, a traditional square neckline with striped trim, matching short sleeves, and a charming embroidered anchor on the chest.
What makes this piece so special is its history of wear and repair. Throughout the front, you'll find beautiful visible mending, where small holes have been carefully stitched over time to extend the life of the garment. The faded fabric, worn edges, and hand repairs give this shirt so much character.
A wonderful piece of vintage French clothing that can be worn with your favorite denim, linen pants, or layered under a jacket. One of a kind, with a history all its own.
