Meet the MATELOT Breton sweater, the iconic piece that has defined Saint James for generations. Crafted in our Ateliers, in Normandy, this authentic fisherman sweater is steeped in tradition. Initially designed for mariners braving the seas of Newfoundland, it is made to be very close-fitting, hugging the body for that authentic sailor’s silhouette. It boasts the Saint James' secret knit - a tightly woven knit that’s almost water-resistant - a left shoulder button closure for easy wear and a snug fit to keep you warm. With its extra length to protect your back and 100% untreated virgin wool construction, it’s built for both durability and comfort.
Whether you’re going for a coastal vibe or an urban edge, the MATELOT sweater is your go-to for timeless style. With a very slim cut and no ribbed hem, it offers a unique fit for purists who appreciate the traditional, no-compromise design.
A piece for those who value history, craftsmanship, and a fit that’s as authentic as it gets. Made in Saint-James, Normandy, France.
