What it is
The Iki Half-Placket Knit Polo is a long-sleeve knit polo for men: a thick piqué knit with a polo collar, an open V placket and a single button. It sits between a sweater and a shirt, warm like the first and collared like the second.
Which size to pick
The cut is relaxed and boxy, so most people take their usual size. On our 180cm, 70kg fit model the fit is close. If you want the looser drape shown in the photos, go one size up. Sizes run XS (US) S (JP) to 2XL (US) 3XL (JP).
The knit
- Thick piqué knit with a honeycomb texture
- Soft, brushed, velvet-like hand
- Warm, and still breathes
- Keeps its shape with long wear
- Slight stretch
How it compares
A cotton polo shirt is lighter and flatter, made for summer. The Iki keeps the collar and placket but adds the weight and warmth of a sweater, so it covers autumn on its own and layers under a jacket when it turns cold.
Who it is not for
If you want a fitted polo that tucks in neatly, this is not it. The Iki is cut loose and meant to be worn untucked.
Care
Machine wash or hand wash.
Colours
Dark Grey, a charcoal with a slight heather, and Cream.
