Shop The Anthology Superfine Knitted Short Sleeve Polo – Tennis White

100% Supima Cotton

Our interpretation of a short-sleeved polo is a crossbreed between sublime functionality and superior comfort. We attempt to bring every detail of the ‘common classic’ that no one is unfamiliar with to its new heights. We can dissect this into two parts — design and fabric.

On the design note, the polo is purposely made sans top-button as we always prefer a short-sleeved polo to be worn open-collar for its uninhibited expression. With this polo, one can get the additional option to convey different levels of expressiveness. The one-button option is a thoughtful design. Precisely positioned around the upper chest, the button offers two wearable options to the garment as an exploration of an Anthologist’s persona. It allows for consideration to go the classic ‘down-to-earth’ understated luxury look by having it buttoned-up or to go complete riviera extravaganza route with flair and confidence.

Starting from the angle of the collar to the way it fans out, every manoeuvrable outcome has been carefully designed and calculated during pattern making. The collar spreads outwards and drops gracefully, draws a soft curve from the placket to the edge. The design also features a nailhead ribbed sleeve and hem. Unlike our knitted t-shirts, the ribbing only gives slight contours to the framework but refrains from hugging around tightly for the holiday aesthetic.

The cloth is house developed and equipped with a luxurious drape and handle that juxtaposes an unexpected lightness. A technical challenge in its own right, this knitwear is woven in a super 120 Supima cotton double-ply yarn, successfully marrying drape with lightness, bringing the best of both worlds together.

Wear it to a yacht, a game or a meal. This is luxury functional wear in its simplest form.
