Black and cobalt horizontal stripes on white, reminiscent of the classic French mariners' shirts* in a very nice quality jersey, deadstock from a southern California designer. Opaque with a soft hand, fluid drape, 4 way stretch and a touch of rolling at the cut edge. Right for a top, tunic, t-shirt, dress, leggings, for combining with other prints and for trims and edgings.
*The French striped shirt is called une marinière or un tricot rayé (a striped knit). It's usually made of jersey and it has long been part of the sailors' uniform in the French Navy. La marinière became a fashion statement at the beginning of the 20th century.
