Meet the MATELOT Breton sweater, the quintessential piece that has defined Saint James for generations. Handcrafted in our ateliers in Normandy, this authentic fisherman sweater embodies tradition. Originally designed for mariners facing the harsh seas of Newfoundland, it features a very close-fitting design that hugs the body, creating an authentic sailor’s silhouette.

This sweater showcases Saint James' secret knit - a tightly woven knit that is nearly water-resistant - alongside a left shoulder button closure for easy dressing and a snug fit to keep you warm. With extra length to protect your back and constructed from 100% untreated virgin wool, the MATELOT is built for both durability and comfort.
Whether you’re seeking a coastal look or an urban edge, the MATELOT sweater offers timeless style. Its very slim cut and absence of a ribbed hem provide a unique fit, perfect for purists who appreciate a traditional, no-compromise design.
This piece is for those who value history, craftsmanship, and a fit that’s as authentic as it gets.
