Delighted
"Soft, easy care, beautifully made in sustainable cotton. Delighted"
Crafted on our latest 14-gauge machine, the Tavia Breton crew neck is an uber-soft, lightweight addition to your spring-summer wardrobe and is ideal for layering or wearing straight to skin.
With close-fitting cuffs and finely ribbed neckline, you’ll be protected from wind chill and 100% cotton means that you won’t overheat as warmth is transmitted away from the skin.
Our women’s garments run true to size. We encourage UK customers to order two sizes as we offer free UK returns on orders of £100 or more.

Womens Ultra Fine Cotton Breton Crew Neck Jumper
Change options: Ecru / XS
£60.00
Lightweight, breathable, and exceptionally comfortable, our ultra-fine cotton is knitted on the latest Japanese-made Shima Seiki machines.
Naturally soft against the skin, the fibres relax over time, becoming even smoother with wear and washing. Durable and low-maintenance, ultra-fine cotton resists pilling and remains fresh, refined, and easy to care for.
Naturally hypoallergenic, ideal for sensitive skin.
Smooth cotton fibres relax over time, feeling softer with wear.
Allows air to circulate so heat escapes quickly.
Easy to wash and less prone to pilling than many fibres.
High tensile strength, and around 30% stronger when wet.
A natural plant fibre that breaks down more easily than synthetics.
This piece is made by skilled knitters in our family-owned factory in Navsari, using the same standards and oversight as our British production. As the home town of the Paul James family, Navsari has long been central to our expertise in fine knitwear.
By owning and operating the factory ourselves, we retain full control over quality and materials, resulting in well-made knitwear designed to last and priced fairly, straight from the factory floor.
Overall rating: 4.7272725 / 5 from 220 reviews.

"Good sweater - good fit."
— jean T. (4/5)
"I particularly like the quality of this garment. However, if I have to make a criticism, the stitching around the arm holes is quite tightly done. Having said that I am very happy to continue wearing this garment. Washing will tell the tale."
— Yvonne E. (4/5)
"Duller than I expected"
— Patricia C. (3/5)
"Beautiful British made quality knitwear as always with Paul James items."

"Wish I sized up it ripped under the arm when I was trying to take it off. It looks nice on, a little thinner than expected."
— Veronica H. (3/5)
"Lovely feel and great fit. It actually looks good on me too, so that is always a positive, especially as stripes can sometimes make for a not too happy picture. So a very happy customer."
