Designing clothing that lasts over time
Our century-old know-how is the main guarantee of the quality of our clothes, which are designed to last over time and be passed on, like our iconic peacoat in French woolen cloth. They are our signature and our pride !
From rigorous quality controls to the repair of small tears and maintenance advice, we want each garment to accompany our customers for as long as possible.
90% of our raw materials are French like the wool cloth that makes up our real peacoat. All the raw materials used are environmentally friendly, respectful of human health and animal welfare.
In addition, we maintain trusting relationships with our suppliers, based on the long term and shared requirements in terms of environmental, social and societal responsibility.
Defending local know-how
Many brands lower their prices excessively. They sell at a loss and betray consumers. This translates into pressure in the factories, very often outside Europe, which are asked to sell at a lower price.
At Dalmard Marine, we produce in a reasoned way and remunerate the entire production chain at fair value. We are committed to defending local know-how and supporting production capacities in France. Depending on the season, the availability of production units, the volume and the models, we call on European partners with a strictly identical quality result.
Giving a second life to clothes

Convinced that clothes are made to live several lives, we contribute to a circular economy with our recycling and transformation program for all brands of wool coats. Since 2021, we have collected 4.5 tons of peacoats in our Paimpol workshop.
We set up Breton partnerships with associations of the social and solidarity economy and companies adapted for the manufacture of recycled wool coats (peacoat, dufffle coat...) accessories as well as with the CASCI in Paimpol (structure for integration through economic activity) to scrap recycling.
Creating clothes for every morphology

Too many people cannot wear certain clothes because of their morphology. At Dalmard Marine, we make it a point of honour to offer a wide choice of sizes.
We dress women from 34 to 54 and men from 38 to 68.
Raising awareness of the need to use products more responsibly

We are very committed to developing the skills of our crew: training courses on climate issues, on recycling and transforming used woollen coats, etc.
On a daily basis, we encourage our customers and our community to change their individual behaviour and consume less but better. To adopt more sustainable consumption habits in the textile sector, we need to ask ourselves the right questions:
- before buying: do I really need this garment?
- at the time of purchase: is this garment of high quality, designed to last and made in Europe?
- In use: how do I look after this garment so that it lasts as long as possible? How do I repair any small snags? Here are our care tips for your wool coat or sweater and your cotton breton shirt.
- when i no longer wear the garment: do i customise it to make it unique, give it away, opt for second-hand goods or recycle it? Discover our programme for recycling and transforming used woollen coats.
In the firm belief that everyone should take action to limit their environmental, social and societal impacts, we have been part of the Make Friday Green Again collective since 2019, to encourage sensible and responsible consumption.
Reducing our carbon footprint

In 2022, we undertook to analyse the carbon emissions linked to our textile activity. During this year, we emitted 929 tonnes of CO2.
To reduce our environmental impact by 16% by 2026 :
- we are raising our teams' awareness of climate issues
- we are using recycled or less carbon-intensive raw materials
- we are reducing the quantity of clothing produced
- we are informing our customers about the carbon impact of our products and the planet's limits
- we are expanding our processing of recycled woollen coats
- we are strengthening our clothing repair service
