SIZE: LL COLOUR: Copper Rose Stripe

The usual long body length and good fit. Weight and three quarter sleeves just right for cooler summer days. Took a chance on the colour as wanted to team them with some orangy/ rust coloured trousers. Colour works really well - not too pinky.

SIZE: Large COLOUR: Cobalt Breton Stripe

Lovely fabric, colour and design. But for me the sleeves were a little too baggy to look sleek and the boat-like neck showed by bra straps so I had to take the sleeves in a centimetre and stitch the shoulder seams for a better fit. Now looks fab, but a shame I had to do this to what’s in effect quite a pricy (albeit smart!) T shirt to make it look great.

SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Copper Rose Stripe

I already have this top in Bright Teal and Dark Olive from last year and I love them. I was tempted to try this colourway by the photoshoot photo but unfortunately the colours are much more subdued. I was expecting a soft white base colour like my others and I need a little more vibrancy. Not for me I'm afraid.

SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Dark Olive Stripe

Lovely top. Ordered a medium, because the colour was out of stock in a small, my usual size. Also got another single colour Breton top in a small, and a Multi coloured stripe in a small. The medium single colour was only a tiny bit bigger than the Multi coloured small, and the single colour small was too tight. So sizes a bit out of kilter. Medium was a little roomy, but after washing was fine. Yet Multi coloured small was perfect.

SIZE: Small COLOUR: Copper Rose Stripe

This top is lovely. I can wear it as a casual top with jeans and trainers, or under a blazer for work, or with an infinity scarf so it’s really versatile. The fabric is quite thick but not so thick that you’d feel hot wearing it, and the length is good too - it’s quite long in the body so it won’t ride up. I went a size smaller than usual (I’m a 12 but bought S) and I’m glad I did - it’s still a great relaxed fit and not clingy. It’s washed well and after a quick blast in the tumble dryer I don’t need to iron it which is a bonus! Looking forward to getting lots of wear out of this.

SIZE: Large COLOUR: Navy Breton Stripe

A beautifully soft yet substantial material with the excellent Kettlewell drape. The boat neck is flattering with enough shoulder to let your bra strap hang properly. Elegant stripes which will not widen you. On the prom in the South of France, rock pooling in Rock or most likely sitting in the garden it is absolutely perfect!

It's lovely to find Breton tops in fresh colourways for a Winter palette. The cobalt bue stripe immediately brought a smile to my face when I tried it on. Unfortunately I'm tall (5 ft 11 ins) and the top is a little too short for me. But I kept it anyway for working from home as I do like the style. The pima scoop neck is a better length.

SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Crimson Stripe

I am a winter. I was disappointed that although this is called a winter colour the white background is not a true winter white but a creamy white which does not suit me at all. The style wasn’t good on me either so I will have to return it.

- Tricia (04.04.2020)

Reply from Kettlewell - Please note the white background will become brighter and whiter after washing. If you would like to preserve a softer background, please use detergent formulated for colour.

Bought coral as I am a Spring but did think stripes were white not soft white. Medium fitted well, looser fit nicer for summer, but did cling slightly not being 100% cotton. Length was perfect for 5'4". Material and design is lovely and will go well with other Spring colours.

I bought this in canary yellow. I am a spring and I love the colourway, so bright and cheerful. I bought the coral stripe too but am not sure yet whether I will keep it. I bought a large and I am a 12-14. It is slightly loose but I like it like this. I am going to layer it with the canary yellow long cami.

I have last years Breton top in navy but couldn’t resist the Cobalt Blue stripe. I’m between a 12-14 but ordered a large. It’s slightly loose fitting but like it so will keep. It’s pure cotton which I love and quality is very good but can still wear it tucked into trousers with cardigan on top. It really cheers me up in these bleak times having such a bright fresh top.

- Caroline (25.03.2020)

Lovely top. I loved the fabric and the fit. I'm a busty size 10, and I find that I have worn sizes ranging from S (in the ziggy top), to M (in this top), to L in the slit-top. This fit is wonderful, because the fabric is thin enough that I can wear a chloe jacket over it, but also sturdy enough that I can wear it alone with just a pair of slacks. I love the length of the top as well (I'm 5'5").

SIZE: Small COLOUR: Crushed Berry Stripe

I have been really disappointed by my latest Breton top. I have 2 already so was excited to broaden the range of colours. Firstly the medium (that I had previously was massive) so had to order small. Turns out the sizing has changed. Then I’ve struggled with having to pull it down all the time. Turns out it’s an inch shorter than the previous one. Such a shame as means I won’t buy this again.

- Sophie (30.11.2019)

Reply from Kettlewell - The first breton stripe top you had was a fitted style. We introduced the current looser fit style based on customer feedback. Unfortunately, it's not going to suit everyone but the looser fit has been more popular in general.

Very happy with this top. A lovely fresh looking garment (I chose Bright Teal), comfortable to wear, not clingy (which I dislike), just the right length for me, and the neck is not too wide. Please can we have a few more relaxed fit, non-clingy garments for ladies of a slightly more "comfortable" build?!

- Patricia (08.08.2019)

STYLE 4 QUALITY 3 VALUE 2

SIZE: X Small COLOUR: Bright Teal Stripe

The Bright Teal version is absolutely stunning! It is by all means the prettiest Breton stipe shade that I've ever had, and I love the boat neck feature which makes it look much more pretty than a regular scoop neck. My only gripe is that even though I'm very slender and always wear XS in Kettlewell clothing, this top is too tight around the shoulders, and mine are by no means wide, nor do I have large breasts. The shoulder area pulls up if I lift my elbows away from my waist even by just a few cm (a driving position or a desk job position, for example). I have the same issue with several other Kettlewell sleeved styles, and my seamstress says that it looks like the cut is made for people with a hunched back. Well, mine is not hunched, but it isn't ballerina-straight either - just a normal, healthy back. I keep returning because of the colour choices, but the recurrent cut&fit issues are very frustrating, especially given the price tag and the very expensive returns from overseas...

I have been very happy with my bright teal breton this season. This season's version is a more generous fit so the M is a better fit for my 12/14 top. Last year I bought an L in the flint stripe. I have now tried the new Dark Olive and the Coral. However, although the dark olive is great the coral doesn't look as good so has been returned.

Good quality top but unfortunately too long in the body for me at just under 5'3" so I had to return it. I would have described the colour as was more of a rhubarb pink than the lilac shown on the web-site. I really wish it were easier for petite women to get clothes that fit!

SIZE: Small COLOUR: Crimson Stripe

Ordered the top in crimson stripe but it turned out to be crimson and creamy white, which did not suit my colouring and, therefore, I returned it. I have previously purchased the breton top last year and the stripe was whiter. The quality of the top is excellent and I liked the neckline and length.

- Ceri (25.06.2019)

Reply from Kettlewell - We're using the same white as last year but it does become 'whiter' after washing so it could be that you're comparing pre-washed with a washed one.

The neckline on this top is easily the most flattering I own. Part of my first order, and I ordered everything in a small, and it all came up a little large for me , even though I am an 8-10. Reordered in an XS to compare and that was spot on for me. As soon as I got the sizing right , the top looked perfect , rather than just good . My only sadness is that by the time I realised my correct size, it was sold out in the cerise pink, which I absolutely loved . I don't know if Kettlewell consider feedback from customers to inform new seasons designs, but if they made this style of top in plain colours, I would probably buy it in every summer pallet shade.

A good quality, well cut, flattering top. I chose the Cerise stripe but as a Winter I found the colour not quite right so have exchanged it for the navy, which I think I'll wear more. I'm a standard size 10 & 34C and the small is a good fit. Highly recommend as a top quality wardrobe staple.

Last summer I bought three Kettlewell Bretons in size L in different colour stripes and loved them. First of all I was disappointed that there was no navy and soft white Breton in this summer’s range as this colour combo is such an excellent wardrobe staple however I went for the crimson stripe in L (same size as last year) - unfortunately it is bigger and baggier than last year’s Bretons - even the sleeves seem loose on me. I was depending on it to wear on a weekend away so I have kept it but otherwise I would have returned it.

As an autumn I loved the colour as I usually go for my safer warm reds and corals. Unfortunately had to return as the medium was too big, which was unexpected as I have the same top in medium from a previous season and it fits beautifully? Might try ordering a small but I suspect it will be too tight, I made that mistake last summer and now have a sleeveless V that I can’t really wear. I do love kettlewell but the sizing inconsistencies are tricky and unfortunately for me I think I sometimes fall in between sizes.

I bought my usual Kettlewell size, Small, but it was too big all over. I returned it for XS. It looks great tucked in. Not so good over trousers as a bit tight on my hips. The material is lovely and the bright teal is perfect for me. Because of the sizing, though, I have hesitated to buy another, or the multi colour version which I assume is similar.

Comfortable top and flattering style, however I was disappointed that the white background was a bright white, not a Spring white, which is really unflattering and doesn’t do justice to the Dutch blue.

Very nice top in a fresh colour, great for summer. I ordered a Medium, my usual size at Kettlewell (I am a size 10/12).

I have loads of Breton tops from various manufacturers, this one is my favourite, it’s also the most expensive. Initially I decided to treat myself because I loved the colour (bright teal - gorgeous!). I am so glad I did. The fabric is soft, has some structure but isn’t stiff. It fits but doesn’t cling and is very flattering. I bought Size L (I’m size 14, 5’ 1”). Some Kettlewell tops are too long for me but this one is fine. It has also washed beautifully, no shrinking, no twisting, comes up like new. So, yes, it was expensive but worth every penny!

So pleased with this top. Fabric is a little thicker than most t shirts which is great to wear on its own or with a little denim jacket. The color of course is perfect for me (cerise) . I bought the LL size , I am a USA 14 and was concerned it might be too large but it is just right, slightly loose as I like it. The size chart was dead on. I purchased other items with this and every item was exact to the fit chart. While I initially thought the price was a little high, the quality is well worth the price.

I love the colours (Dutch blue and bright teal) and shape of this Breton and the LL fitted well for a size 16. However, for me, this top is too short. I am 5 ft 9 inches tall and find that anything shorter than 25 inches does not flatter me. I could not justify paying this price for something not quite right. It would be great if you could make a Breton style in a longer length though I recognise that the shorter length suits many people.

SIZE: X Small COLOUR: Crimson Stripe

This is a fantastic top, great fabric, colors and shape. XS still provides relaxed fit. It is just the right length, so one does not need to tuck it in. Love it!

SIZE: Small COLOUR: Bright Teal Stripe

Bought this in Small as neck would have been cut too wide in a Medium. Body frankly a bit tight & clingy on my bony size 8-10 frame. Hoping it’ll stretch a bit with wear! Colour lovely.

The fit is much more relaxed than last year so will try a smaller size.

SIZE: Large COLOUR: Cerise Pink Stripe

These are a welcome burst of fresh spring colours! My two new bretons have just arrived, in cerise stripe and bright jade. Both are lovely. The cerise is a vibrant, true, blue-pink, the jade a clear shade balanced between green and blue. Both go very well with other garments in the Kettlewell Winter palette. The material seems a little softer than the navy breton from last season, and the cut is just a shade more generous (which will probably make them a tad cooler in the summer). The boat neck is very easy to wear, and looks great with a Florence Infinity scarf in either a matching or a contrasting colour. You can wear a camisole or a silky top underneath for cooler days or if you want to layer. These tops are a great combination of a classic style that can be worn for years, with some vivid new colours that add a fresh dimension to the wardrobe. A great start to spring!

I am addicted to Kettlewells breton stripe tops. I now have a wardrobe full! Ive bought the bright teal in a L, fits true to size, I am a high street 14. Love it.
