Pure Cotton Armor Lux Breton Shirts

 

 

Armor Lux Breton shirts

Armor Lux Breton Shirts (round neck style):

 

These are genuine Breton shirts in 100% pure, soft, knitted cotton, made by Armor Lux of France. They are in a round neck style, and T-shirt shape. Adult short sleeve styles are only available in lightweight jersey cotton, while adult long sleeve styles and children’s shirts are only available in heavier interlock cotton.

 

We measure the actual shirts and not the chest size of our potential customers. The sizes shown below are those in use in France, with an approximate measurement given in inches and centimetres for each size. Please be aware that, in general, the short-sleeve shirts are, size for size, larger than the long-sleeve shirts. Please indicate the size required (generally two inches larger than chest measurement) and we will match it as closely as possible. If you prefer a looser fit please order a larger size still. Please note also that the navy colour used by Armor Lux is very dark.

 

As the range of colours changes regularly it is impossible to list all combinations. Please contact us for further information on colour combinations available. Despite every effort to ensure consistency, the colours shown below may vary from the actual colour.

 

SHORT SLEEVE JERSEY-WEIGHT COTTON £28.95

LONG SLEEVE INTERLOCK-WEIGHT COTTON £38.95


Shown at left is the classic white/navy combination

Prices and Sizing

 

 

 

 

SIZING INFORMATION

 

The sizes shown in the panel opposite are based on a measurement taken across the Breton shirt, when laid flat, at a point just below where the sleeve joins the body, as shown above. The measurement is taken from side to side (indicated by the arrows above) and is then doubled to arrive at the actual size. We measure the actual shirts and not the chest size of our potential customers.

As the range of colours changes regularly it is impossible to list all combinations. Please contact us for further information on colour combinations available. We measure the actual shirts and not the chest size of our potential customers. The sizes shown below are those in use in France, with an approximate measurement given in inches and centimetres for each size. Please be aware that, in general, the short-sleeve shirts are, size for size, larger than the long-sleeve shirts. Please indicate the size required (generally two inches larger than chest measurement) and we will match it as closely as possible. If you prefer a looser fit please order a larger size still.

Important Sizing Information

Size exchanges can be a nuisance but can, hopefully, be avoided if you follow our sizing guidelines. If possible, select a similar style of knitwear or T-shirt which you currently wear and feel comfortable in, and measure across the chest, from underarm to underarm, as shown in the image at left. Double this measurement to arrive at the actual garment size. Then compare the measurement of your garment, in inches, to the ones shown on each product page.

Please do not confuse the measurements we show on each page with a person’s body measurement; the measurements listed are the actual dimensions of our knitwear and Breton shirts.

A size 44 Guernsey sweater, for example, will measure 44 inches all round, but this does not fit a 44 inch chest, it will be suitable for someone with a chest measurement of 40 or 42 inches.

Please do take the time to measure your own garments before you order, to prevent size exchanges. We keep our costs to a minimum, to offer the best possible price, and will have to pass on the cost of return postage for exchanged items.
