How to take care of Saint James cotton clothes?

Cotton is a formidable textile, which is easier to care for than wool. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers and color intensity. While cotton is durable, proper care extends its life.

Saint James cotton clothes can be washed at 90°F (especially if your garment has high-contrast stripes to prevent color bleeding) with a moderate spin speed. Use a gentle liquid detergent. If you use fabric softener, use sparingly.

Important for striped shirts: If your garment has high-contrast stripes (like our classic Breton shirts), wash at 85°F (30°C) to prevent color bleeding.

It is normal and expected: cotton may shrink a bit (1/2" on average) after the first wash cycle. Please make sure not to tumble dry your garment to avoid any further shrinkage.

Do not expose your cotton pieces to direct sunlight.

You can line-dry your cotton clothes: be careful, as with all your clothes, to position the clothespins correctly, not to leave visible marks.

If you are going to iron your cotton piece, do it on the reverse side and set your iron to a medium temperature.

Best 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.

Great 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!!

Best 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!
