Product Insights
Drôle de Monsieur's Repeated Logo Striped Shirt is a minimalist design joke—the logo appears only once while the stripes repeat—colliding 70s opulence with 90s normcore. Made in Portugal from durable 6-8 oz cotton canvas, it reflects the co-founders' outsider roots and Portuguese heritage, but the lack of online sizing and crisp fabric make fit errors obvious. At $475 CAD full price it feels overpriced, best value during 70% off archive sales, though buyers report frequent shipping delays and poor communication.

Deep Research
Cotton canvas: weight, texture, and seasonal wear
- Where a typical poplin dress shirt weighs 90–150 GSM (roughly 3–5 oz), lightweight cotton canvas shirting starts around 6–8 oz (204–272 GSM) — so this shirt has noticeably more body and a crisp, self-supporting drape that holds its tailored lines without needing heavy starching.
Drôle de Monsieur's blend of 70s and 90s influences
- The brand name "Drôle de Monsieur" translates to "funny gentleman," signaling that humor is woven into the label's DNA; the shirt's title "Repeated Logo Striped Shirt" is a cheeky misdirect—despite its name, the logo appears only once, on the chest patch, playing a small joke that aligns with the founders' confident refusal to take fashion too seriously.
- The founders directly frame their design approach as a collision between the ornamental opulence of the 1970s and the normcore minimalism of the 1990s; in this shirt, that translates to a two-tone striped fabric that carries 70s decorativeness while the clean cut, single chest logo embroidery, and wear-everywhere cotton canvas land it squarely in the 90s streetwear principle of effortless, unpretentious clothing.
- Drôle de Monsieur was founded in 2014 by childhood friends Dany Dos Santos and Maxime Schwab in Dijon, far from the Paris fashion establishment; the slogan "Not From Paris Madame" began as a punchline that won media attention by bluntly declaring their provincial outsider status, and that same defiant, self-taught energy runs through the shirt, giving it an authenticity that cannot be faked by capital-city labels.
- The "Made in Portugal" tag is not just production geography—it reflects co-founder Dany Dos Santos's Portuguese origins and the brand's ongoing celebration of Portuguese craftsmanship; for a Paris pop-up they commissioned a fountain covered in hand-painted azulejos, and that same artisanal pride extends to the shirt's fabrication, linking it to a lineage of quality European workshop production rather than impersonal mass manufacturing.
- Maxime and Dany adhere to a design-first aesthetic where they create pieces they personally want to wear; "we like minimalism and we design what we want to wear," they explain—and that explains why this shirt avoids excessive branding, settling for a single chest embroidery on a clean cotton canvas stripe, resulting in a garment that feels like a personal wardrobe choice rather than a branded statement.
What Made in Portugal means for this shirt
- The 'Made in Portugal' designation is legally defined by EU Regulation 1007/2011, which requires the final cut-and-sew transformation to occur in Portugal — guaranteeing that the shirt was produced under EU labor laws and environmental standards rather than the minimal oversight common in many offshore garment districts.

Q&A
6 answered- How does the fit of this shirt compare to other brands like Ralph Lauren or Aime Leon Dore?
- We don't have exact fit comparisons to Ralph Lauren or Aimé Leon Dore. Community discussions note that Drôle de Monsieur shares a similar aesthetic to ALD but many find the fit information missing; t-shirts are described as having a boxy fit [community discussion]. For this shirt, the product description mentions 'impeccable tailoring' suggesting a more tailored shape, but specific details are unavailable.
- Is the logo repeated as an all-over print or just on the stripe pattern?
- The logo is not an all-over print; it appears as embroidery on the chest patch pocket. The official Drôle de Monsieur site for a similar striped shirt describes a 'Drole embroidery on chest patch pocket' [2]. The name 'Repeated Logo Striped Shirt' likely refers to the stripe pattern, not a repeated print of the logo.
- Can this shirt be machine washed or is it dry clean only?
- Based on care instructions for a similar Drôle de Monsieur shirt, this shirt can be machine washed warm. The brand's care guide for 'La Chemise Rayée' states: 'Machine Wash Warm • Do not bleach • Do not Tumble Dry • Dry Clean • Iron temp. Low' [2]. Since both are 100% cotton striped shirts, we expect similar care for this model.
- How is the quality of Drôle de Monsieur shirts?
- Generally good, but many feel it is overpriced at full retail; better value when purchased on sale.
- How do Drôle de Monsieur shirts fit?
- Sizing information is often missing; users report a boxy fit for t-shirts, but specifics for other shirts are unclear.
- Is ordering from Drôle de Monsieur reliable?
- Many users experienced long shipping times, missing items, canceled orders, and poor communication, especially during archive sales.
