02 — The design

Quiet by design

Most of the tees carry a place across the back. The polo does the opposite — it says almost nothing, and says it in thread. It is the piece for the days you want the brand on you without announcing it.

Embroidered, not printedThe mark is stitched into the cloth rather than printed onto it. Tonal, raised, and something you notice by touch before you notice it by sight.
240gsm, not 230Ten grams heavier than the tees. On a polo that difference shows — the collar stands properly instead of curling after a season.
A limited runMade in a smaller run than the tees, and not restocked. When it is gone it is gone, and we would rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise.
03 — Fabric & construction

Built to be worn, washed and worn again

A polo earns its place by surviving. Heavyweight organic cotton, finished with the construction details that decide whether a collar still stands after a year.

240gsm organic cottonHeavyweight 100% organic cotton, pre-washed for minimal shrinkage. Ten grams heavier than the tees — enough that the collar holds instead of curling.
Ribbed collar & placketA ribbed collar keeps its shape wash after wash, and the placket is stitched to sit flat rather than gape.
Taped shoulder seamsSeam tape across the shoulders reinforces the points that carry the most stress — the difference between one season and several.
EmbroideryThread stitched into the cloth gives a subtle raised texture you can feel. It will not fade or crack the way a print eventually can — embroidery ages differently, and better.
Unisex, one fitCut unisex, S to XL, sized to the same specification as the Regular fit tees. Set-in sleeve at the natural shoulder — there is no oversized polo.
Limited first runSmall first batch. When a size sells out in this run, it's gone rather than quietly restocked.
04 — Size & fit

Sized like the tees

The polo is graded to the same specification as our Regular fit t-shirts, so if you already know your size in one of the tees, take the same here. It has a set-in sleeve and sits at the natural shoulder — there is no oversized cut of the polo.

Cut unisex — one cut worn by everyone, in S, M, L and XL. The measurements below are the garment, not a body, so use them rather than guessing from a menswear or womenswear size.

Classic regular fit to the US/international standard, with a 2″ chest step per size above M. The shoulder seam sits at your natural shoulder point.

How these are measured
  • Chest — garment laid flat, measured straight across from armhole seam to armhole seam (pit‑to‑pit), 1″ below the armhole.
  • Length — from the highest point of the shoulder, at the collar seam, straight down to the bottom hem.
  • Shoulder — seam to seam across the back, between the shoulder seam points.
  • Sleeve — from the shoulder seam to the sleeve opening edge.

Tolerance is ±0.5″ (±1.3 cm) on every measurement. Garments outside that are rejected at QC.

Full measurements for both t-shirt fits are on the size guide.
05 — Care

Looking after embroidery

Embroidery is hardier than print, but the thread still appreciates a gentle wash.

  • Machine wash cold, inside out — this protects the stitching from abrasion.
  • Wash with similar colours, on a gentle cycle.
  • Hang to dry. Tumble drying is the main cause of shrinkage and puckering around stitching.
  • Iron inside out, avoiding the embroidery directly — never press a hot iron onto thread.
  • Skip bleach and fabric softener; softener coats the fibres and dulls the finish.
  • Watch for snags — embroidery can catch on velcro and rough surfaces.
06 — Delivery & returns

Getting it to you

Orders usually ship within 1–2 working days. You'll get tracking by email as soon as it's on its way.

Returns are free within the UAE — you have 14 days from delivery to send something back unworn, unwashed and with tags on, and exchanges for a different size or fit are free too, subject to stock. Full detail is on the policies page.

07 — Questions

Before you order

How is the polo different from the tees?

Three ways. It is 240gsm rather than 230, so it is a slightly heavier cloth and the collar holds its shape. It is embroidered rather than printed. And it is made in a smaller run than the tees, counted on its own. Sizing is the same as the Regular fit tees.

Are these unisex? Will they fit women?

Yes — every piece we make is cut unisex, in one run of sizes from S to XL. There is no separate men's or women's version and no difference in the cut. Because the size chart lists the garment measured flat rather than a body size, the reliable way to choose is to measure a t-shirt you already like the fit of and match the numbers. Plenty of people size down for a closer fit or up for a relaxed one — both are the same garment.

What size should I order?

The polo is graded to the same specification as our Regular fit t-shirts — same chest, length, shoulder and sleeve measurements, S to XL. If you know your size in one of the tees, take the same here. Full measurements are in the size chart on this page and on our size guide.

Why such a small run?

It is the first polo we have made and we would rather make a small number properly than guess at demand. There is no plan to restock this run.

Will it be restocked?

This is a limited first run. We may make polos again, but not this one, and we will not promise otherwise.
