The basicsWhat is a knitted polo shirt?
A knitted polo is made on fine-gauge knitting machines, which puts it closer to a jumper than a T-shirt. It has a soft drape, holds its shape through the day and sits well under a blazer, so it works as smart casual wear. Ours are all cotton knits, with no logos on the garment.
That suits everyday wear in Sri Lanka's climate. Cotton is a natural fibre that lets air through, and fine-gauge knitting builds airflow into the fabric, so a knitted polo breathes in the heat. For comfort in Colombo's weather, it is an easy choice for a man who wants one shirt that looks smart and stays comfortable from the office to the evening.
The rangeKnitted polo shirts for men, style by style
The men's knitted polo shirts collection covers jacquard, textured and zip styles of polo shirt for men. The 3D Optical Geometric Knit Polo is our bestseller. Each style has its own fit, and its product page states it:
- 3D Optical Geometric Knit Polo: a 100% cotton 3D cube jacquard in a structured fit.
- Majolica Geometric Jacquard Knit Polo: a Majolica-inspired pattern in 100% cotton, with a tailored fit.
- Moderna Graphic Statement Knit Polo: a bold interlocking block pattern in a relaxed resort fit.
- Sorrento Chevron Knit Polo: a vertical arrow texture in a tailored fit.
- Limoncello Pinstripe Knit Polo: a fine vertical pinstripe in a tailored fit, from a weekend lunch to a smarter occasion.
- Interlocking Tile Pattern Knit Polo: an S-link jacquard with a ribbed hem and cuffs, in a regular fit.
- Capri Wave Textured Zipper Polo: a drop-needle wave texture and a zip placket, in a structured fit.
- Vertical Colour Block Zipper Polo: an intarsia colour block with a central stripe and a YKK zip, in a modern fit.
- Vertical Pointelle Button Down Knit Polo: perforated stripes and a full button placket.
For a closer cut, start with a tailored fit: the Majolica, the Sorrento or the Limoncello. For more room, the Moderna has a relaxed resort fit. Sizes run from S to XL, and the measurement guide lets you check a size before you order. Each product page shows the price in rupees.
Knit or piquéWhat is the difference between a knitted polo and a piqué polo?
Piqué has a raised, waffle-like texture that traps air, which makes it breathable and quick to recover from creasing. It is the classic tennis-polo cloth. A knitted polo t-shirt has a smoother fine-gauge surface, and any texture comes from the knit itself. Our range leans towards fine-gauge and jacquard knits rather than classic piqué, and the cotton versus piqué guide explains how to choose.
For womenWomen's knitted polo shirts and ladies' polo t-shirts
The women's polo shirts collection has four knitted pieces: a zip-front polo, a V-neck polo, a Johnny-collar knit top and a contrast-collar long sleeve polo. Textures run from open-knit to wide-rib, and each product page lists its sizes.
