Meridame II,heavy weight cotton
Love the color, perfect for the holidays. Perfect addition to my Saint James collection of stripes. Always looks crisp and wears like iron.

Nice Quality Shirt
This is a very nice quality shirt. The fabric is substantial and it drapes nicely. I have five of these shirts and gladly “live” in them during New England fall and spring. The colors are vibrant and they wash up well, getting softer with each wash. I’m looking forward to wearing this green/red one around Christmas time!

I am so happy with my top
The website was very easy to navigate, the color selection was extensive and the shirt is comfortable. I wasn’t able to shop for a “Pull Marin” while in Paris, but now have my lovely Breton top
