This off white polo shirt is a single export surplus piece from Cotton Eagle,
knitted with a drop needle structure that runs fine vertical ribs down the
body and sleeves. The cream tone is soft and warm rather than stark white,
which keeps it wearable in daylight without looking like a dress shirt. A
short metal zip sits at the neck so you can wear the collar open and relaxed
or closed and clean. One piece only, size XL, and there will be no restock.
Fabric and construction
The body is knitted using a drop needle technique, which is what creates the
vertical rib lines running the full length of the front, back and sleeves. It
is a construction used on better knitwear because it gives the surface depth
and movement without any print or applique. The yarn is
knitted with a light open handle that stays breathable through a full
day. The collar, cuffs and hem are ribbed so they recover their shape rather
than stretching out with wear. The half zip runs on a fine gunmetal chain with
a plain flat puller, set into a clean knitted placket with no visible bulk.
Fit and measurements
The cut is relaxed rather than slim, sitting away from the body through the
chest and waist. The hem is straight with a deep rib, so it holds its position
and looks correct untucked.
Chest measurements below are half chest, taken across the garment laid flat
from one underarm to the other. Double the figure for the full chest
measurement. Length is taken from the highest point of the shoulder straight
down to the hem.
This piece is size XL: 23 inches half chest, which is 46 inches around the
full chest, and 29 inches in length.
Measure a polo you already own across the chest while it is laid flat and
compare it to 23 inches before ordering. Because the fit is relaxed, this XL
suits a man who measures around 42 to 44 inches around the chest and wants
room to move. Allow a tolerance of half an inch either way on all
measurements.
How to wear it
Off white is the easiest colour in a Pakistani wardrobe and the hardest to
make look cheap, which is why the texture matters here. Zip it up with mid
brown or olive chinos and leather sneakers for something considered without
being formal. Leave it open over dark denim for evening. It also works under
a navy or stone blazer in place of a shirt, where the knit rib gives the
outfit a surface that a plain jersey polo cannot.
Care
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar light colours. Do not bleach,
including on the collar and cuffs. Dry flat in shade rather than hanging, so
the weight of the water does not pull the knit out of shape. Warm iron on the
reverse if needed. Do not tumble dry. Wash light garments separately from
denim and towels, because textured knits pick up fibres and pill when washed
with rough fabrics.
One piece only, size XL
This is export surplus, which means it came out of a production run made for
an overseas brand and reached us as a single remaining unit. There is one
piece in size XL in off white and there will be no restock in this colour or
size. When it sells, the listing closes.
