The Details

Considered, point by point.

  1. A COLLAR THAT STANDS GUARD

    A COLLAR THAT STANDS GUARD

    The Kessler collar is engineered to hold its shape through years of wear. Cut with careful proportions and reinforced structure, it frames the neck cleanly and maintains a crisp roll instead of collapsing like most polos.
  2. FULL YOKE TO MAKE IT SIT, NOT HANG

    FULL YOKE TO MAKE IT SIT, NOT HANG

    The substantial full yoke is precisely cut to contour the natural line of your shoulders. This considered construction allows the fabric to settle cleanly from the frame, ensuring a composed, tailored profile that resists unwanted looseness.
  3. DOUBLE FOLDED HEM THATS EXTRA PLUSH

    DOUBLE FOLDED HEM THATS EXTRA PLUSH

    Each hem is meticulously double-folded, creating a substantial band that resists curling. The added fabric layer provides a distinct, plush handfeel, ensuring a comfortable drape against the skin.
  4. High Cut OFFSET SLEEVES

    High Cut OFFSET SLEEVES

    The sleeves are meticulously cut high on the shoulder, allowing for an unobstructed range of motion. Their subtle offset placement creates a refined drape, ensuring an ergonomic fit that enhances the polo's clean silhouette.
  5. Handstitched Mother of Pearl Buttons

    Handstitched Mother of Pearl Buttons

    Genuine Mother of Pearl buttons, individually selected for their unique natural lustre, adorn the placket. Each is handstitched for secure attachment and a distinct, refined feel that is palpable to the touch. This meticulous detail underscores the garment's considered construction and lasting quality.

Provenance

The polo shirt originated in the early 20th century as practical sportswear for polo players in British India, featuring a soft collar and a placket. It was later famously re-imagined and popularized for tennis by French champion René Lacoste in the 1920s, who sought a more comfortable alternative to traditional tennis whites. This innovative design soon transitioned from athletic wear to a ubiquitous casual fashion staple.
