Olive Cotton Jersey Long-Sleeve Polo Shirt

Drake's long-sleeve polo takes the familiar knitted sports shirt and gives it a little more polish, so it suits a casual weekend and a jacket just as well. It is cut from a solid olive cotton jersey and made in Italy. Ribbed self-fabric trims, a two-button placket and a stepped hem keep it close to the classic polo, and mother-of-pearl buttons make it slightly finer. It can be worn on its own or under tailoring.

Brown Linen Knit Jersey

We kept the knitted jersey character but chose a pure linen jersey in a brown melange. It is the nearest solid, earthy knit on offer, and its slubbed yarn gives a quiet surface texture. We matched the two-button polo placket, the polo hem and the mother-of-pearl buttons, and left off any pocket. Proper Cloth does not offer ribbed collars or cuffs, so we used a soft one-piece collar and soft one-button barrel cuffs in the same cloth, which give the shirt a slightly more shirt-like finish.

A very lightweight jersey knitted from 100% linen in 40s yarn, in a brown melange that shifts a little in tone as the light changes. The natural slub gives it a lightly textured face. Because it is knitted, it drapes softly and has some give, and the linen keeps it airy and cool in warm weather.
