The Urban Polo - Modern Merino
Our Urban Polo is contemporary garment free from any outdoor or tramping connotations, designed to provide superior moisture management, temperature regulation, and natural odour resistance.
In an age of synthetic fabrics, merino wool jersey stands as nature's performance material. With fibres measuring just 17-24 microns, it offers surprising softness while absorbing up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet.
For travellers and active individuals, merino's natural antimicrobial properties resist odour by inhibiting bacteria growth, extending wear between washes. This natural fabric performs year-round—warming in cold conditions while cooling in heat—thanks to microscopic air pockets created by the natural crimp of its fibres.
Where merino meets jersey construction, the result moves with remarkable elasticity while maintaining structure and natural. Simple care (gentle wash, wool detergent, flat drying) preserves its qualities.
Beyond performance, merino represents sustainability as a renewable, biodegradable resource. When properly sourced, it supports responsible land management—clothing that feels good in multiple senses of the word.
