Exploring the evolution that made this easygoing shirt a sporting icon

When it comes to sporting and performance wear, few items from a century ago are still being worn today. The polo shirt is one of the rare exceptions. A staple in men’s wardrobes since at least the 1930s, a good polo shirt remains an essential piece all active men rely on—especially this time of year.

And while you’ll find the shirts cut from all sorts of materials and finishes these days, in our eyes, there’s nothing better than cotton piqué. The geometric waffle-like pattern of the knit makes for a shirt that’s comfortable, breathable and durable as hell. We took ours to the next level—introducing moisture-wicking and antimicrobial properties to keep you dry and fresh for longer while retaining its classic shape and style.
