The shirt is medium in length, making it appropriate tucked in or let out depending on the way you want to wear it, and it is finished with straight hem and cuffs in keeping with the original features.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis timeless shirt holds a special place in the cultural history of the 20th century, having first been adopted by Coco Chanel on vacation as a chic, luxury French fashion item, paired with wide legged trousers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIt was then adopted by groups as wide ranging as the Beatniks in 50s America post WWII as a symbol of the rejection of traditional values held by the prior generation, and in 60s England where Mick Jagger would have had it as a staple in his wardrobe and on stage, further solidifying its rebel aesthetic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe endless ways this shirt has been adopted, from a working man’s uniform to the catwalks in France to its rebellious days in the 50s and 60s is proof that this style is a truly versatile piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWear it tucked in or let out, with almost any conceivable bottoms that can be found in your wardrobe - shorts, swim trunks, jeans, trousers, chinos - all will be equally at home with the Breton Stripe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIt can be styled also with a shirt underneath or on the outside, or simply worn with a blazer or harrington jacket for those cooler summer evenings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlease see size chart at the bottom of the page to determine which size is best for you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOther aspects:\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis style runs small.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe recommend that you take one size up from your usual size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlim modern fit but has a small amount of natural stretch and moulds to body over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody of sweater tapers slightly from the chest down to the hem to give a more fitted look by minimising excess fabric often found around the waist of sweaters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmaller armhole compared to traditional \"baggy\" sweaters, without being overly restrictive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe round neck opening is a slight boat neck shape in keeping with the original Breton Stripe design, but cut fairly close to the neck for an elegant look\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAs Worn\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModel wears size 42\/L.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHe measures: chest circumference 40\" (102cm);
