A true icon of the maritime wardrobe, the marinière is one of those timeless pieces that has transcended eras and trends without losing its authenticity. Perpetuated and magnified by the Morbihan knitwear company Le Minor for generations, it was natural that it would seamlessly integrate into a joint project.

Mutually inspired by Japan, we have worked together on a voluminous cut, representative of modern Japanese attire. Thus, unlike the authentic marinière which has a fitted cut, our Loose Marinière features considerable shoulder and chest widths, a more voluminous sleeve, and a shorter length that enhances the boxy effect. The collar has also been redesigned by reducing its usual depth while maintaining its classic boat shape.

The uniqueness of its cut perfectly complements one of the thickest cotton fabrics offered by Le Minor. It is made from a so-called "raw" carded cotton yarn, with a typical dry touch, spun in France and then knitted on a mechanical "Gauge 14" machine from the 1960s. The weight of 380gr/m² (+/- 11oz) is more akin to a light sweatshirt than a t-shirt per se, making it a robust marinière, resistant to intensive use and the test of time. This generous thickness also ensures a clean and sharp drape. The deliberately loose shape provides undeniable comfort when worn and pairs perfectly with our Noragi in Milano knit, the second piece of this collaboration.
