SAILOR-LONGSHIRT INDIGO-White-black ₉₂₄₈

Long shirt with V-front, square sailor collar, piped trim, and straight sleeves. Cut in cotton for airflow and freedom of movement, reaching below the knee. Today it works as an easy summer garment or house robe. On transatlantic crossings, sailor longshirts of this type protected the neck and shoulders from back-drafts and sea winds, giving comfort on exposed decks while remaining light enough for crowded ship interiors.


Transatlantic voyages from Le Havre to Cayenne took weeks, crossing the North Atlantic where storms, gales, and trade winds shaped travel. Passengers and crew needed garments that shielded against wind on deck yet stayed breathable below. The sailor collar was a practical solution: it turned down drafts from behind and protected the neck in damp conditions, making the longshirt a standard of ocean travel.
