The John Smedley Isis Polo Shirt is one of the most enduring styles in the brand’s long history of exceptional English knitwear. First introduced in 1932, this iconic knitted polo has remained a John Smedley signature for generations, becoming particularly associated with the clean lines and sophisticated simplicity of 1960s Mod style. Crafted in England from John Smedley’s renowned Sea Island Cotton, Isis combines an exceptionally soft handle with natural breathability and a beautifully smooth finish, making it an effortless choice for warmer weather and year-round layering.
The Easy Fit silhouette gives Isis its distinctive relaxed character, with a slightly longer body, generous proportions and a beautifully fashioned collar that creates an unmistakable mid-century profile. A classic three-button placket completes the neckline, allowing the polo to be worn open and relaxed or buttoned for a sharper appearance. The fine-gauge construction sits comfortably against the skin, while the exceptional quality of Sea Island Cotton gives the garment a refined drape and an understated sense of luxury. It is a polo designed to be appreciated not only for its heritage, but for how naturally it fits into a modern wardrobe.
Fjord Blue brings a calm, sophisticated character to the iconic Isis silhouette. This soft mid-blue, with subtle grey undertones, has an atmospheric quality that works particularly well in lighter seasonal wardrobes. Pair it with crisp white or cream linen trousers and suede loafers for an effortlessly relaxed Riviera-inspired look, or introduce a stone or beige blazer and dark navy trousers for a more polished evening ensemble. For weekends, dark indigo denim provides a natural contrast while allowing the soft blue tone to remain the focus. Whether worn open at the collar beneath relaxed tailoring or tucked neatly into trousers, Isis offers a timeless combination of British craftsmanship, exceptional natural fibre and effortless style.
