The John Smedley Mycroft Sea Island Cotton Knitted Polo Shirt in Starch showcases timeless British craftsmanship and understated luxury. Expertly Made in England by John Smedley, the world’s oldest continuously operating knitwear manufacturer founded in 1784, this refined men's retro polo is crafted from the brand’s legendary Sea Island Cotton, prized for its exceptional softness, breathability and durability.
Knitted in a premium 30-gauge fine knit, the lightweight fabric delivers a smooth, elegant finish that drapes naturally while remaining comfortable throughout the day. The Starch colourway offers a sophisticated neutral tone – a crisp off-white shade that feels bright and clean without the harshness of pure white, making it incredibly versatile for modern wardrobes.
Inspired by the clean lines of 1960s Mod fashion and classic English knitwear, this luxury fine gauge polo shirt pairs effortlessly with tailored trousers, lightweight suiting or premium denim for refined smart-casual styling.
