Bakelite Long Sleeve Supima Cotton Polo

Bakelite is the shade, and a long sleeve is what makes it wearable well past summer.

The shirt is crafted in lightweight Californian Supima cotton, durable and exceptionally soft against the skin. Designed for a slim fit, it is finished with a ribbed collar, shell buttons and a tailored cuff, which is the detail that keeps the sleeve neat at the wrist rather than bunched. The result is a smart, sophisticated silhouette.

It covers the gap where a short sleeve looks too casual and a proper shirt too stiff, which is a large part of spring and autumn. Wear it under a jacket with the collar out, or on its own with plain trousers. Take your usual size for the close fit, or the next one up to layer beneath it.
