White sailor with indigo stripes. Date of manufacture: early 2000s Brand Le Minor Marinière 100% cotton in Rachel knit, knit known for being unbreakable. Defects and repairs are always mentioned in the description. Here the garment has a slight stain on the collar. All of our second hand garments are pre-washed.
THE NATIONAL NAVY MARINIÈRE
Originally Le Minor, formerly MBL, had as a mission to manufacture the best sweaters possible to protect its fishermen from bad weather. In 1970, Le Minor became the official supplier of the French Navy and also protected the sailors and officers. In addition to the marinières, also called regulation clothing, the brand manufactures between 5,000 and 15,000 officers' sweaters per year until 2010. This marinière produced in the 2000s is directly inspired by the regulation clothing that Minor produced for the French Navy. As a technical garment, it must facilitate movement during maneuvers and the sleeves must not extend beyond the sweater or jacket worn over it. These technical constraints are reflected in a fairly open boat neck, 7/8th sleeves that stop above the wrist, a slightly loose fit and slits for ease of movement. We still produce this model today, with the same specifications.
OUR SECOND-HAND CONCEPT
In November 2020, we launched the Gwenner Glaz: Green Friday in Breton. The concept is simple: collect your old clothes, from all eras, and offer our customers vouchers in return. With all these returns, we were able to open a second hand fashion department, with carefully selected second hand clothes. Please note: all our second hand clothes are second hand clothes, usually already worn. They may therefore have traces of wear. Nevertheless, we have sorted them, selected them carefully, cleaned them and repaired them when necessary (if necessary, it is always specified). Non-repairable garments were recycled in the same way as all our production scraps. We have classified the second hand garments in 3 categories: 1 - Very good condition: garment that has been worn very little, with no defects, and no wear and tear 2 - Good condition: garment worn and washed several times, with slight traces of wear that are mentioned in the description, but no defects or repairs 3 - Fair condition: garment worn and washed several times, which has one or more defects or repairs, which are mentioned in the description and photographed. Here, it is a garment in Very Good condition.
