Category: Shirts

A short-sleeve knit button-up, featuring a breathable drop-needle pattern and Milano-knit detailing. Originating in the early 20th century as a more comfortable alternative to traditional sportswear, this style evolved from tennis attire into a smart-casual staple by the mid-century, often referred to as the “Italian knit” for its postwar popularity as relaxed leisurewear. This version updates the classic with added texture and airflow through the drop-needle construction, while the hems, collar, and placket are finished in a Milano stitch to give the piece structure and a more defined shape.

  • Front Button Closure
  • Camp Shirt Collar
  • Short Sleeves
  • All-Over Drop-Needle Stitch Pattern
  • Content: 100% Cotton
  • Hand Wash, Lay Flat to Dry

    Richard I. ★★★★★

    The drop-needle pattern really does what it promises—my back stayed cool during a full day of running errands in the sun. It’s got a nice, semi-structured feel from the Milano stitching that dresses up easily without being stiff.

    Daniel ★★★★★

    The Milano-knit detailing around the seams gives it a much more polished look than your average knit polo. I wore it on a warm afternoon and the drop-needle pattern kept me from overheating, which is exactly what I needed.

    Brian X. ★★★★★

    The drop-needle pattern really does what it promises—my back stayed cool on a 90-degree afternoon, which is rare for a button-up. Milano-knit trim keeps the collar sharp without feeling stiff. Already wore it twice this week.
