Redvarn - Knit Polo with Three Button Placket
A long sleeve knitted polo with a soft ribbed collar and a three button placket.
A knitted polo is the piece that solves a specific problem: a collar is wanted but a shirt is too much, and a sweater leaves the neck bare. It has been doing that job since long before it came back into fashion.
Why this knit polo?
- Knitted collar: the collar is knitted as part of the garment rather than cut from woven cloth, so it rolls softly instead of standing stiff.
- Three button placket: enough to open the neck properly, short enough that the front stays closed when it is fastened.
- Long sleeves: the sleeve runs to the wrist and finishes in a rib, which makes it a layer rather than a summer shirt.
- Straight body: cut without a taper, so it works tucked or left out over trousers.
- Cotton blend yarn: a smooth surface that holds a press line at the collar and does not fluff at the placket.
Ideal for:
Men who want a collar without a shirt on days that sit between casual and not. It works under a blazer, over chinos, and on the sort of evening where a sweater would be too plain.
Does the collar stay down?
It is knitted with a firmer rib than the body, which holds the roll. It softens with wear rather than losing shape.
Can it be tucked in?
Yes. The hem is straight and finishes at the hip, cut to work either way.
What are the buttons?
Corozo, matched to the body color and sewn flat so the placket does not stand proud.
