Light Blue Supima Cotton Jersey Polo

Light blue is the shade that flatters most people, and a collar stand keeps it from looking casual.

The shirt is made from the same jersey as the classic T-shirt, crafted from the finest extra-long staple Supima cotton, traceable to a single Californian farm. The collar stand holds the collar upright and gives a more dressed-up, formal look than a soft collar would. As with the polo shirts first introduced in the 1950s, the focus stays on comfort, fit and softness.

It works against darker trousers, where the contrast does the work, and against stone in high summer. Wear it under a jacket for the week, or alone at the weekend. A timeless staple is only worth the name if it gets worn, and this one will.
