THE FRENCH SHIRT
The quality of French manufacturing is evident through the excellence of the cuts, the attention to detail such as the real mother-of-pearl buttons, and the use of noble materials.
Born in 1909 in Burgundy, Albert Gauthier established his first shirt-making workshop in Buxy after studying in Paris during the Roaring Twenties (1929-1931). Under the name Dalmory, he marketed his shirts in 1947.
In 1956, the Gauthier family transferred their workshop to Chalon-sur-Saône, still in Burgundy, and perpetuated quality craftsmanship . From 1980, the shirts were sold under the "Alain Gauthier" brand, named after the founder's son.
In 2006, the Gauthier workshops changed ownership to be managed by Michel and Bernadette de Saint-Jean, who continued to preserve the tradition in the Chalon-sur-Saône workshops.
The La Chemise française brand would not appear until much later.
