navy bleus

With his country in mortal peril, Jean Monnet rose to the occasion. Although his audacious plan to merge the nations of France and Britain in the opening days of WWII simply ran out of time, Monnet spent the rest of the Second Great War as he did the first- coordinating Allied production and organizing vital supply shipments across the Atlantic.

Monnet also knew a more relaxed side of life, traveling the world selling his family’s brand of premium Cognac: a one deal at a time re-education against the mass market mark-up behemoths of the day. Professionally charming and socially graceful, he would live happily ever after running off with a beautiful Italian painter 19 years his junior.

Thus, a salute of purposeful navy bleu yet able to compromise with a relaxed lining in a pair of Bonobos shorts that will put everyone enough at ease to negotiate a European Union.

Saving the world at sea, high adventure in finance and trade, absconding to Switzerland- make waves behind the scenes with your navy bleus.
