Rooted in seafaring tradition, the NEMO II fisherman's smock is simple, authentic, and timeless. Made from sturdy cotton canvas, it is built to withstand the elements. A buttoned breast pocket on the inside provides secure storage for fragile items. Sailors once used it to keep cigarettes dry while onboard. The high collar offered protection from the wind, especially when lighting filterless Gitane cigarettes. Traditionally, red brick-colored smocks were worn by fishermen near the shore, while blue was reserved for those sailing farther out to sea.
100% Cotton.

Nemo II French Sailor Jacket
I bought this item as a present for a friend of mine. My friend says he absolutely loves the jacket.
Great work shirt made of seriously heavy cotton.
I bought an earlier version of the NEMO II (NEMO I, or perhaps just NEMO? who knows?) Regardless, I wised up in the intervening years, realizing that I did not reach for it when it could have saved other work shirts from stress they weren't made for, because they were snug around my armpits. This time, I went big, and ordered the XXL? It was a good choice, and I would recommend it for Americans. I've been getting more use from NEMO II, and very happy with the performance of the superior fabric. Most importantly, is the first-line protection the true canvass cotton affords my skin in situations where I'm bearing in to hold planks in place. NEMO II is now one of my faves. A great addition, and the XXL room was correct, as well. Nice to feel proud for being so smart,
Nemo II
I love this shirt/over shirt for casual wear and doing chores around the house/walking the dog. While I do not smoke, the inside pocket is handy for sunglasses. The fabric has just the right amount of coarseness and looks like it will fade beautifully.
