Standard Description Model

The Fabric: Crafted from a fine-gauge knit, this polo offers a smooth, lightweight feel that drapes cleanly. The material (likely a cotton, silk, or viscose blend) is chosen for its superior breathability and soft, supple texture, making it an ideal choice for elevated comfort in warm weather. It's a significant step up from the traditional piqué polo, offering a more refined finish.

The Production: This piece is defined by its retro-inspired details. It features a classic spread collar and an open "Johnny collar" V-neck—a buttonless placket that offers a relaxed, old-school charm. The design is accented with sharp, contrast tipping on the collar, placket, and sleeve cuffs, while the ribbed hem ensures the polo sits neatly at the waist for a clean silhouette.

The History: The Riviera Style Icon This style of knit polo harkens back to the mid-century European Riviera, a look favored by film stars and style icons. The open-placket "Johnny collar" was a symbol of effortless, sun-drenched sophistication. Today, it’s celebrated as a key piece of the "retro-cool" and "Old Money" aesthetic, perfect for those who appreciate timeless menswear.

Essential Care for Fine Knits: To maintain the softness and shape:

• Washing: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Alternatively, use a machine's "delicate" cycle, placing the garment in a mesh bag to protect it.

• Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring). Lay flat on a clean, dry towel, reshaping it, and let it air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

• Storage: Always store folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging a fine knit can cause the shoulders and neckline to stretch and lose their shape.
