Sea Salt quality in general is excellent. Really nice soft fabrics and worth the cost IMO. If you want a cheaper version, I can recommend Zara's version . But my first choice would be Sea Salt.

As for the Boden one...I just sent mine back. Thin, very bizarre shape and poor quality.

GiantPuffball · 21/04/2012 20:26

Boden Bretons Aren't.All.That. thin fabric, badly cut.

zgaze · 21/04/2012 20:38

Uniqlo have a great one in heavy expensive feeling cotton, I am wearing it at this very moment. It's slightly longer than the others.

StyleGuile · 21/04/2012 20:44

I love the Jigsaw ones and the H&M ones too - both of which are great quality. Hope you find what you are looking for.

JoyceDivision · 21/04/2012 20:51

Thanks for the posts, really like the Zara one but its sold out in my size!! May just take the plunge and treat myself to a seaslt top. Its the first time I've bought anything fromn there, what's the sizing like?

Zgaze, which uniqlo top did you get, and what are they like size / fit wise?

OP posts:

Sea Salt sizing is generous IMO but not ridiculously so.

I have Seasalt breton tops for DS and the organic cotton they use is very thick, reeeeally soft and washes perfectly. Would recommend.

mrsebojones · 21/04/2012 22:23

oh no! Have I made a mistake with the bretons? Looked as Seasalt one but was unsure about their sizing and didn't want the faff od returns. Gone for the Boden one in cream with navy stripe... currently no wait for my size. Will I be making a trip to the post office Hmm

zgaze · 21/04/2012 22:32

It's this one shop.uniqlo.com/uk/goods/070866

Some how the picture makes it look more dress-like than it actually is, I'm quite short and it only comes to just the end of my bum cheeks!

zgaze · 21/04/2012 22:35

Oh and I'm a 12-14ish with biiiiiiiig BFing boobs, I have the large and it fits nicely. I find Uniqlo sizes run small to true usually.

JoyceDivision · 21/04/2012 22:36

Ah, that sounds better, did look a bit long. What's the size like? Pretty much normal fit or generous or small?

OP posts:
zgaze · 21/04/2012 22:48

Normal, in this crazy world where a size 12-14 is 'large'...

JoyceDivision · 21/04/2012 22:52

ah, normal.. right then, for size 16 / 18 ish I'll prob be what uniqlo class as hideously wide if you are a large Grin

I have a two or three year old sea salt top as does DD2 both going strong, lovely and soft.
Ladies sizes on the generous side as mine is a 14 and I'm very much towards the top end of 14/16

suebfg · 22/04/2012 19:55

The Boden Summer Breton is not a good fit - had to send all mine back

ConstanceChatterley · 22/04/2012 19:58

Same, boden bretons went bag, baggy and shapeless but with oddly tight arms

BramblyHedge · 22/04/2012 19:58

I have an H&M breton like the zara one posted above and the quality is good, thick soft fabric and washes brilliantly.

tazzy65 · 22/04/2012 20:23

i have that top, really lovely, love seasalt, good service and good quality.
