The Nantucket Marinière is made of lightweight, breathable and fluid cotton, for a relaxed silhouette and comfort at all times. Its ecru color embellished with fine black stripes takes us aboard the old whaling ships of Massachusetts, guided by the historic red lighthouse on Nantucket Island. The classic cut of this sailor top is adorned with rust-colored elbow patches made in 100% recycled spinnaker - thin and flexible for freedom of movement.

Timeless, elegant and comfortable, the Nantucket Breton shirt slips on easily, throughout the seasons and destinations, to fill your day with iodized air.

This product is made with spinnaker inserts. Invented in 1937, nylon is the oldest synthetic fiber used in sailcloth. Its lightness, elasticity and resistance make it the ideal material for the spinnaker of sailboats. Usually quite colorfull, the "spinnaker" is easy to spot on sea with its bubble shape at the front of boats sailing downwind.
