Polo Shirts
Polo Shirts is the short- and long-sleeved collared knitwear at Mens Collection, a men's clothing store on New Utrecht Avenue in Borough Park, Brooklyn, New York. The collection runs across mesh cotton, Supima cotton, jersey, basketweave, merino and cashmere, in slim, regular and relaxed cuts.
The colours are where the choosing happens. Navy, black, charcoal and ink blue are the ones that go under a jacket without a second thought. Loden green, chestnut, bronze and dark walnut are for the shopper who has enough navy already. White, stone, ecru and powder blue belong to warm weather, and the towelling versions belong to a holiday.
Fabric changes what the same shape is for. Mesh cotton breathes hardest in July. A knitted merino or cashmere polo sits closer to a jumper and carries into autumn under tailoring. Jersey with a collar stand reads smarter than a T-shirt without asking anyone to wear a proper shirt. The heavyweight rugby versions are the ones for a cold Saturday outdoors.
Sizing runs XS through XXXL, so the same colourway is available whether the fit wanted is close or easy. If you are buying one polo to wear everywhere, start dark and plain; if you are building a drawer, this is where the range in the Polo Shirts collection earns its place.
