Introducing the Papillon T-Shirt – inspired by Steve McQueen’s iconic character from the classic film Papillon.
This soft grey marl fabric t-shirt features a wider stripe pattern, yarn dyed with a 2x2 rib collar and interior back neck binding for superior comfort. Papillon, the French word for “butterfly,” has an illustrious history that dates back over 160 years.
The original navy and white pattern was designed for French sailors, and the word papillon has come to represent an adventurous spirit. Show off your style and sense of freedom with the Papillon T-Shirt – the perfect combination of classic and modern.
The Papillon is a future classic, bringing together the Breton pattern, a super-soft cotton mix and neutral colours that can pair with almost anything.
Sturdy material, brilliant finish on all the stitching and most importantly really comfortable fit that’s true to the sizing information.
French for butterfly and inspired by the famous film starring Steve McQueen, this a new T shirt design for the coming season. We have blended
A classic Breton stripe aesthetic but with a wider convict style stripe and using a beautifully soft grey marl fabric. This a classic look that pairs perfectly with our chinos, denims and shorts. Worn under one of our chore jackets it adds a 1950’s European look to your individual style.
Convicted murderer Henri Charriere (Steve McQueen), known as "Papillon" for his butterfly chest tattoo, is transported to French Guiana to serve his sentence in a work camp. Determined to escape, Papillon forms an unlikely relationship with the frail but notorious forger Louis Dega (Dustin Hoffman), who reluctantly joins in the attempt. Despite the harshness of solitary confinement, brutal conditions and constant threats of betrayal, Papillon leads a desperate escape off the island.
