Pure new wool is naturally static. Unlike synthetic fibers, dust does not stick to it deeply. Simple brushing and your clothes will stay clean for a very long time.

Wool is alive. Let your clothes "breathe." In your closet, do not pack your clothes too tight. They will naturally resume their shape.

For washing, follow the care instructions on the product label.

Never put woolen clothing in your dryer.

The mesh can be steam ironed in position 2 of your iron. If you iron it dry, place a wet cloth between the iron and the garment to prevent it from getting shiny.

SAINT JAMES l'Atelier is the story of Saint-James, the true one since 1889: 100% wool sweaters are knitted there, quite simply unique, thanks to the longevity of the knit. Families pass Saint-James sweaters from one generation to the next.

SAINT JAMES l'Atelier is also the world of sea crossings and stripes: Breton Striped Shirts are made in the workshops using unique know-how. It's all about proportion, balance, and of course, quality. The 16x8 stripe is distinctive to Saint-James.

SAINT JAMES l'Atelier consists of these iconic pieces (sweaters, Breton shirts, and coats) that are classic, authentic, timeless, and seasonless. Yet, each season, we reinterpret these classics always inspired by the sea, the bay of Mont Saint-Michel, which surrounds us, and this heritage of 130 years alive.

This distinction is a state label awarded to companies for five years, distinguishing French companies with excellent artisanal and industrial know-how. This label brings together manufacturers committed to the high performance of their profession and their products.

The designated manufacturing houses are recognized to hold a specific economic heritage, know-how based on mastery of techniques

traditional or high-tech, hence promoting French production. They benefit, like SAINT JAMES, from an old business standing and of great notoriety.

Sharing common values, the "Living Heritage Companies" reconcile

tradition and innovation, know-how and creation, work and passion; they are solidly rooted in their territory but resolutely turned towards the future and often very present internationally.
