In its signature Breton stripes, attractive and colorful from the sea-shore to the city, the versatile GALATHEE II striped tee lends itself to different styles with spontaneity and style. Pair it with cropped jeans and ballet shoes for an instant 1930's French Riviera look! Its 3/4 length sleeves, round neck, and fitted waist give the iconic marinière a feminine touch.
Like all Saint James fabrics, our hospitality industry-endorsed light cotton is engineered to stand the test of time and of countless cold washes. For a more substantial, textured, authentic weight and similar outstanding quality, choose MERIDAME (women fit) or MERIDIEN MODERNE (men fit).

Beautiful quality and fit.. classic and classy
PLEASE: get rid of the sewn-in neck tag!
My experience was OK. but it would have been SO much better without the annoyance of the sewn-in tag. Why are you still using these annoying labels? I'm not the only person in the world with sensitive skin, and now I look for -- prefer -- manufacturers whose labels are imprinted on the item. Please move into the 21st Century. You still have the sleeve tag, which is not so offensive.

Bonjour, Thank you for your purchase and for having taken the time to send your comment on the neck tag. We will forward your comment to our master knitters in France, as we have taken these labels for granted the way they were. Most of the time, they have very good and well-justified reasons to do things the way they do, like preserving the integrity of the fabric. But it might be worth questioning the status quo. Thank you for your business, and we hope to serve you again soon. Sincerely, Jennifer for Saint James USA
Nice, but
I have not worn the item because I am going to return it. It is nice, and fits OK now, but I am afraid that if I launder it, any shrinkage will cause it to be too tight. The fabric is soft, but has virtually no stretch or give to it.
