Monocle has put down roots in la République, opening a Paris office and releasing a new France handbook. Now, our shop’s customers can also buy a pullover crew from iconic Breton brand Le Minor. Made on the blustery Brittany coast near the town of Lorient, this 100 per cent virgin-wool sweater is a reliable companion when facing down the wind and rain. Wearers will join French navy officers in donning the French brand's pieces for the winter – what could be a better endorsement?
