The John Smedley 'Dorset' Extra Fine Merino Wool Polo Shirt in Woolf Red.

From its historic home in Derbyshire, the world’s oldest manufacturing factory, John Smedley introduces a true menswear icon. The ‘Dorset’ polo shirt is the definitive Mod knit; the result of over two centuries of British craftsmanship and a dedication to the finest natural materials.

With its traditional three-button placket and fashion collar, the Dorset pays homage to a heritage of style, while its easy fit and breathable Extra Fine Merino Wool ensure unrivalled comfort. A timeless piece that embodies enduring British excellence, the Dorset remains a true centrepiece of any retro-inspired wardrobe.

The ‘Dorset’ makes its return to Atom Retro this season in four striking literary-inspired colourways – Woolf Red, Keats Bronze, Kafka Beige, and Faulkner Brown – a nod to great writers and to John Smedley’s own rich heritage.

The John Smedley Made in England Dorset Merino Wool Polo Shirt in Woolf Red is a striking nod to 1960s retro and mod heritage style, perfectly embodying the brand’s rich history of fine gauge knitwear craftsmanship. Pair this iconic polo with tailored trousers or slim-fit jeans for an effortlessly sharp mod look, or layer under a classic Harrington jacket to channel authentic 1960s British style. Its vibrant Woolf Red hue adds a bold pop of colour, making it an essential piece for those seeking to blend timeless heritage with contemporary flair.
