United StatesBest Breton Shirt
Love the quality, weight and look of my St. James shirt. I didn’t buy one when I was in France, and regretted it, so was glad I could order one when I got home.
United StatesGreat Quality Shirt
Cotton fabric (heavyweight) is warm and gets softer with each washing. This shirt is both comfortable and versatile. For reference, I'm 5'6" and 128 lbs, typically a size 4 in the US; I ordered a size 8 and the fit was fine. My next purchase will be a size 10 for a more relaxed fit. This shirt is really a nice staple for work or weekend wear. Thank you, St. James!!
United StatesBest striped shirt
This shirt is absolutely perfect. I would not change a thing. I have worn it non-stop since it arrived, and ordered two more!
