The Breton (and the like)

French favourite, the Breton shirt. That long-sleeved stripe cotton garment - traditionally, the stripes begin around the breastbone and it has a boat neck. You know the one, you probably have 4 or 5  justifiably, as all are different (to the keen eye, at least). 

The Breton stripe shirt originated in Brittany— a French province that occupies the peninsula between the English Channel and Bay of Biscay—which may explain its nautical affiliation. The shirt bears a blaring resemblance to the Brittany flag
