Embroidered Polo Shirts in Dubai & the UAE

The Sahra Polo is 240 GSM piqué, not the 230 GSM jersey we use for the tees. Piqué is a knit structure rather than a heavier version of the same cloth — the fine waffle texture comes from the way the yarn interlocks, not from anything applied afterwards. That structure is what gives a polo its particular hand: more body than a jersey tee, a little give across the chest, and a surface that sits away from the skin rather than clinging to it.

The extra ten grams matter as well. At 240 GSM the fabric holds a collar shape rather than curling after a season. Underneath the knit the construction is the same as the tees — woven shoulder taping rather than cotton tape, double-stitched seams, side seams rather than a single tube of fabric, and cotton pre-shrunk before it reaches the cutting table.

The logo on the chest is embroidered. Thread built into the cloth has texture you can feel and won't crack or peel the way a print can. On a garment worn as often as a polo, that is the whole argument: the mark is meant to keep reading cleanly long after the fabric has softened.

The back is left plain. Not every piece in the range is decorated the same way — two of the tees carry a DTG graphic across the back and an embroidered logo at the front, while the Empty Quarter tee and this polo are embroidered at the front and plain behind. The technique follows the design rather than a house rule.

The collar label is a separate decision. Labels across the whole range are printed, never woven, because a woven label sitting against the back of the neck irritates skin over a full day. On a collared piece that sits higher and closer, it matters more than anywhere else.

The polo is graded to the same specification as the Regular fit tees, so if you know your size in one you know it in the other. The shoulder seam sits at the natural shoulder point, and the polo has a set-in sleeve with no drop shoulder — the oversized chart does not apply to it.

Measured flat, pit to pit: S is 19″, M is 20″, L is 22″ and XL is 24″. Every measurement carries a tolerance of ±0.5″, and anything outside that is rejected at QC rather than shipped.

It is a men's cut, and the range runs S to XL only — we do not produce an XXL. Choose by the chest measurement rather than by the letter you usually reach for.

A piqué knit rewards a little care, mostly for the embroidery rather than the cloth. Turn it inside out before washing: that protects the stitching at the chest and stops the piqué texture flattening against everything else in the drum. Beyond that, treat it as any combed cotton piece — a cool, gentle wash is kinder to both the colour and the knit than a hot one.

Because the cotton is pre-shrunk before cutting, it should not pull in on itself after the first wash the way untreated cotton does. The double-stitched seams and woven shoulder taping are there to hold shape over repeated washing, and a printed collar label is soft and has no tag to scratch.

Air drying keeps it looking right for longest. The construction is built for ordinary use, though — this is a polo meant to be worn, not preserved.
