Mordecai | Knit Polo Shirt Long Sleeve

Marled yarn. Soft collar. Settled.

The body is knitted with real weight, so it holds its shape through a long lunch and a cold walk back. It pulls on like a sweater and sits like a shirt, which is why most men reach for it on the days they cannot be bothered with a jacket. The fit runs close to the body without gripping, and a size up works if you prefer room through the chest. Among long sleeve polo shirts, this is the one that does the job of a mid-layer on its own.

Knit Collar That Stands on Its Own The collar keeps its shape with no structure underneath, so it stays flat and even whether the placket is open or done up.

Three-Button Placket You Can Actually Adjust Open it when the room warms and the neckline relaxes; close it and the piece reads as neatly as a shirt. It gives you two looks from one garment.

Ribbed Cuffs and Hem That Keep the Fit The ribbing grips lightly at wrist and waist, which stops the hem riding up when you reach across a table or sit back in a car.

Marled Knit With Weight Behind It The yarn is spun from two tones, giving the surface depth rather than a flat block of colour, and the dense gauge has very little stretch so the shoulders stay square. Seams are flat and the collar is knitted in, not stitched on, in the manner of a traditional fred perry polo shirt.

Wear it with dark denim and suede boots, or over a plain tee with flannel trousers.
