Best place for breton?

[Methenyouplus4]

After quite a thick one (but still t-shirt rather than jumper style), loose rather than figure hugging with full length sleeves.

I've got a lovely one from People Tree - really nice quality and a good boxy shape.

Try Joules...they may all have three-quarter-length sleeves at this time of year but they usually have some full length ones and last well. I always buy a size up and wash at 30 though as they are prone to a bit of shrinkage!

Cos had some that fit that bill a few weeks ago. Nice thick material and loose fitting. I only saw white/ black but they probably have different colours. Think it was around £35.

Another vote for joules

I think it was this one which comes in black or blue.

They have a 3/4 sleeved one too with more of a boat neck line but the one ^^ is the one I saw in store:

Armor Lux are great quality and nice substantial material. I have two and they have lasted really well.

Mine have come from Seasalt this year. Joules were too thick for me and Bidens had an odd shape around the shoulders (that could be me).

But if you want a thick one then Joules (Sorry missed that in your OP). And Boden not Biden obv.

I have a wardrobe full of Bretons and this is the best one I've tried. Really nice fit and high-quality fabric.
Petit Bateau and Joules are also good but the material is quite stiff, whereas these are stretchy but still loose-fitting.
I find Boden ones very thin so would avoid those.

I live in Joules, Seasalt, boden.
I love this one but annoyed it's large is a 12! It's available on uk sites somewhere too

Joules for me too. Especially in their outlet stores where they're 16 quid.

Other stories ones are meant to be good. Described as a sweater but they're def tops

Uniqlo ones are heavy weight and recommended. I wanted the red stripe one but they're OOS online at the mo but still have 3 other colours and are a good price considering the good quality of them.

Agree that Boden ones are v thin.

The Lands End ones are good quality. I'm tempted by this dip dye one.

I also noticed that TK Maxx had some Jaeger ones in the window but I didn't go in to look at them.

I have a huge selection of Bretons and think the Seasalt ones are my faves. Really lovely organic cotton, good shape, fab colours and usually a choice of full length or 3/4 length sleeves. Joules ones tend to be thicker and Boden thinner.

I got a lovely red/ cream Breton from La Redoute recently. Fantastic thick cotton.

Wow, thank you all. Lots to choose from. Thinking I might try Seasalt and joules (local-ish stores) and then have a look at the online recommendations to see if any have free delivery/returns.

Forgot to say I'm 5ft 8 so want one that is reasonably long in the body.

I love the Joules Bretons. Nice fabric too.

I'm a longbodied 5'10 and the Seasalt is just about ok on me. They had a 2 for £40 offer on last week when I bought mine. Think it's still on.

I second People Tree, great quality, free delivery and as a bonus, a very ethical company.

Seasalt.

Joules. Thick enough to hide a multitude. I'm 5'7 & long waisted and it's plenty long enough.

I love La Redoute

I've bought probably five from Boden and returned them all - way too short/small.

Give Joules a try, they are perfect.

I also second Lands End but they run pretty big.

I'm 5.8 also and the Joules size 10 hits me perfectly, i.e. well below the bulge.
