Umber Extra-Fine Merino Wool Polo Shirt
Regular price £260.00
This Umber Extra-Fine Merino Wool Polo Shirt is knitted at a fine gauge in a taupe brown that reads as a proper neutral rather than an apology for one, plain by design so nothing gets in the way of how well it's made.

- Made in England
- Standard Fit
- Three Buttons
- Ribbed Cuffs and Hem
Cut closer to the body than most polo shirts, so if you're unsure of your size, or usually fall between two, we'd recommend sizing up.
About This Polo Shirt
Every wardrobe has a hole shaped exactly like a good neutral, and most men fill it with beige, then spend a season wondering why it never quite works against denim, does nothing for their skin tone, or somehow manages to look cheaper than it cost. Umber is the answer to a problem beige never actually solved: warmer than stone, greyer than tan. It works precisely because it isn't trying to disappear the way most neutrals do.
It is, in the end, a shirt that happens to be knitted rather than woven, and it wears like one. The fashioned collar holds a line a soft polo collar never will, and a three-button placket does the job a full button-through front would, with rather less fuss and none of the slouch. Cast in an extra-fine merino at a fine gauge, it has the weight to sit properly on the shoulder rather than clinging the way a lightweight cotton polo tends to by the second hour.
Under a jacket it works as the layer that makes the whole jacket look considered rather than incidental. On its own, it does more of the smart-casual work than a plain t-shirt has ever managed, without trying particularly hard to do it. Style it with the Navy-Blue Check Wool-Linen Blend Jacket and The Grand Canal, Venice by Turner Pocket Square.

How To Wear
Light and breathable enough to wear through the warmer months, thin enough to layer without adding bulk once the temperature drops.
The Fabric
Merino wool is finer and softer than standard wool, which is why it sits comfortably straight against skin where a coarser wool wouldn't. It also regulates temperature and resists holding on to odour naturally, which is most of the reason it earns its keep across more of the year than cotton does.
