Retro Knit Shirts: A Nostalgic Fashion Trend Making a Comeback
Elevate your wardrobe with our Italian Retro Knitted Polo Shirt, designed for timeless style and exceptional comfort. This shirt seamlessly combines vintage charm and modern functionality, making it a must-have for men who appreciate the best of both worlds.
History of Retro Knit Shirts
Originally designed for polo players, retro knit shirts gained popularity due to tennis legend Lacoste. In 1928, Lacoste introduced a more breathable and lightweight version at the US Open, revolutionizing tennis attire. This, in turn, influenced golf fashion. After retiring, Lacoste founded the renowned brand Lacoste and began mass-producing these shirts. However, it was Ralph Lauren who truly made them iconic when he launched POLO Ralph Lauren in the 1960s.
Design and Material
For our Italian Retro Knitted Polo Shirt, we've chosen long-staple cotton and employed a fully knitted process with a strong twist, resulting in a unique, linen-like texture that's comfortable and skin-friendly. The addition of Nylon fiber enhances drape and abrasion resistance. The jacquard crochet knitting process creates a distinctive hollow pattern, offering breathability. Natural black butterfly and tarob buttons add a touch of sophistication. It's perfect for the summer, offering a refreshing and cool feeling.
