The polo shirt is nothing more than an extremely practical and comfortable shirt that arose from the need of its inventor, a seven-time Grand Slam tennis player nicknamed “the crocodile”, to make his sporting performances easier.
Although the name by which it would come to be known came from another noble sport that only adopted it later, it was for tennis and golf that it was initially conceived, as René Lacoste once explained.
Its streamlined shape, small collars and just three front buttons were key to its success with sportsmen and women all over the world, and later made it an indispensable part of the leisure wardrobe. However, if the revolutionary cut was decisive, none of this would be true without the comfort and suppleness that the “petit piqué” cotton of which it is usually made gives it.
It was with this fabric and the comfort it provides in mind that Sumisura decided to give the polo shirt a new dimension, bringing together the best of both worlds. A polo shirt that will allow you to open the doors of the most formal offices, becoming a pleasant alternative to the traditional shirt and revealing an elegance that is surprising to say the least.
It’s made to measure, which allows it to adapt perfectly to the wearer’s body, it’s available in a palette of colours that perfectly suits this new life and, so that there’s no doubt that it’s a truly unique piece, it can be personalised with a vast number of combinations, from the cuffs to the collar, including the monogram.
