Basic French
This spring, the striped tee is on everyone's list, and this is the one to have. Saint James, a knitwear maker based in Normandy France, have been stitching up these tee shirts since 1850. They now have joined forces with JCrew to bring a little bit of French naval history over to us yanks. 100% cotton and 100% made in France. $88 at JCrew.
