In heavy cotton jersey, this essential basic, almost a sweatshirt, is proud of its authenticity and reinvents itself from year to year in the season's colors. Its masculine straight fit around the waist and down the hips with full-length sleeves make it suitable for both men and women looking for a boyfriend fit. Please refer to the sizing guide to identify your best fit (please note that the sizing of this unisex item is based on men's sizes).
For a more fitted shape at the waist, MERIDAME II is our best-selling women's shirt in the same sturdy carded cotton. Choose our best-selling MINQUIERS MODERNE (men fit) or MINQUIDAME (women fit) for a more lightweight, soft layering piece. Like all Saint James fabrics, our hospitality industry-endorsed light cotton is engineered to stand the test of time and countless cold washes.

United StatesExcellent Shirts
This is my 6th or 7th shirt purchase. They have lasted years in great shape.
United StatesXXXL is still a little tight.
I'm normally an XL or size 46-48 chest. The XXL doesn't fit. The XXXL is even a little tight.
United Statesfourth version of this shirt
These are my favorite shirts and I've been wearing them for more than a decade, usually multiple times a week until they fall apart and I order another. Comparing to the last version of this I bought (in 2018 or so) it appears SJ, like so many other brands, has started making their shirts smaller and with thinner material. It's still a great, substantial shirt that looks fantastic, but the heft of the older models is gone.
