The knitted fabric of this T-shirt is made predominantly from skin-friendly cotton and just under a third from durable, cooling linen. It has a fine, slightly irregular striped pattern to match, giving it a maritime and casual character at the same time. The round neckline closes with a plain-colored trim.

“Armor” is the Breton word for “sea,” and “lux” can only refer to the light on the coast. To this day, many of the garments produced by Armor lux retain a maritime character—sweaters and shirts, dresses, pants, hats, caps, and scarves. Founded in Quimper in the late 1930s by a Swiss entrepreneur, the company combines simple, comfortable cuts, classic colors, and uncompromising quality in both materials and craftsmanship. A significant portion of the collection is still manufactured at the company’s headquarters in France— Armor lux also operates production facilities in other countries.
