Men's linen slip shirt

This casual slip-on shirt has the shape of a classic vareuse, which literally means shirt blouse, but at the same time means the traditional fisherman's shirt. In keeping with its origins in the working world, the shirt is simple and functional - with an insert, a slit and a collar that folds down. In order not to get caught anywhere at work, fishing shirts traditionally have no protruding buttons. This is also the case here: The button that closes the slit at the neckline, along with a loop, is on the inside; the breast pocket is also on the inside. In the past, such a shirt was cut from canvas remnants, which would be unreasonably heavy by today's standards. Armor lux confects this slip shirt from washed linen, which still adds the appropriate "used look" to the casual cut.

Tellingly, “armor” is the Breton word for sea, and “lux” cannot mean anything else than the magic light at Brittany’s coast. In keeping with their brand’s name, Armor lux design many of their jumpers and shirts, dresses, trousers, hats, caps and scarves in a maritime style. The company, based in Quimper and founded by a Swiss at the end of the 1930s, combines simple, comfortable cuts, classic colours and uncompromising quality of materials and craft. The main production facility is still the company’s headquarter in France while, to a small extent, branches in Madagascar and Tunisia support the production.

Staining of light-coloured clothing, furniture and other objects is possible.
