Seeking the perfect Breton style top

[rosie17]

I used to own the perfect Breton Style top then the dreaded moths found it..Ugh..

It was by BZR
Slim line, long body
soft cotton
Boat neck
Extra long sleeves
Thin black & white stripes

It was just perfect but Brunns Bazaar are not doing anything similar this year.
Can anyone offer any recommendations?

We're having a similar Breton hunt on the Vogue thread! Is this one any good?

Don't cringe....got a decent one in m&s recently. Quite long...more like a tunic.

whistles have one and so do bloody petit bateau and so does gap

and every shop in the world hth

I have that one shopafrolic.
It wore holes in the front after about 3 wears, so disappointed.
Have darned it several times, but getting irritated now.

Blimey porridge - not good. Don't get that one then Rosie!
I'm after a red and cream one so my hunt continues.....

these are the best I've found... may be a bit more traditional than you're looking for (ie, not slimline long body) lovely though, the most traditional I've found outside of actual Brittany!

They look nice and long in the sleeve round - which would be great if they are.....?

Yes they are! I'm a shortarse (5' 2) and have to turn up the cuffs

Thanks round will take a closer look.....

Thank you my Lovlies. Roundwindow, I've never heard of Seasaltconwall -I'm going to order one in Orca and one Poppy not too sure about the Ecru combination but I like the look of the fit so I'll give them a whirl. I know they don't look v exciting but I find that if I throw on a quirky Marnie necklace on - I'm good to go.

What about Joules? They have a lot of breton type tops - especially their "harbour" top.

Thanks WileyRoadRunner - also lovely.
