Men’s Breton Shirt – Nantucket Recycled Sail

This product is made with spinnaker inserts. Invented in 1937, nylon is the oldest synthetic fiber used in sailcloth. Its lightness, elasticity and resistance  make it the ideal material for the spinnaker of sailboats. Usually quite colorfull, the “spinnaker” is easy to spot on sea with its bubble shape at the front of boats sailing downwind.

In our workshop in Lorient, Brittany, we collect sails every day. Through these sails, singular stories of navigations. Each sail has its own story, and you can learn about it on the authentication sheet that you can find on most of our products. By giving a second life to the these sails, we commit for the preservation of the environment. To learn more about the different sails we upcycle, please read the segment about the life cycle of a sail.
