Casual Polos

It’s less about the weight of the fabric and more about its texture. A smooth, even surface tends to look more polished, while visible knit texture—a waffle, rib, or open mesh—gives a polo a more relaxed feel.

The collection includes mesh stitch short-sleeve and button-through polos, a cashmere waffle sweater polo, a ribbed-stitch cotton polo sweater, cashmere and cotton silk sweater polos, and piqué polos.

A ribbed-stitch polo is knit in vertical channels, which gives the fabric natural stretch from side to side and lets it follow the body.

The Mongolian cashmere johnny collar sweater polo. Its heavier-gauge knit and open, notched collar give it more of a refined feel than a traditional sport shirt.

This page focuses on the more casual end of the collection—the polos where you can really see and feel the knit texture. The main polos page covers the full range, including smoother piqué styles that work well in more polished settings.

A waffle knit has a raised, grid-like texture built into the fabric. The structure helps trap air, which means the short-sleeve cashmere waffle sweater polo can feel warmer than a flat knit of the same weight.
