It was in the 1920’s that Coco Chanel popularised the Breton, making it one of French fashion's most enduring exports. Classically composed of a narrow navy stripe with a wider white stripe in a mid weight pure cotton jersey,  it was named for the uniform worn by the Breton sailors of the French navy. Today few wardrobes are without a Breton or two in one or other of is various modern forms.
