Standard item 02
UNIQLO Dry Canococonut Polo Shirt

The outer 70% of the body of this polo shirt is made of Supima cotton. The remaining 30% is polyester, which is the result of considering durability and other factors, so don't worry. Now that I have written that "Supima cotton is good anyway," let me explain its advantages again. Knowledge can be a clue to enjoy clothes more.

Supima cotton is a variety of cotton with long fibers. Longer fibers mean less fluff when made into yarn, making the fabric smooth, strong, supple, and shiny and elegant in appearance. The surface of the fabric is knitted in the classic "fawn" style to take advantage of its elegant luster and moist texture. It is as expected to be able to enjoy a good material in a royal way without being eccentric.

While the surface of the fabric has an elegant look, the surface on the skin is made of polyester, which dries easily and does not shrink, giving it a dry function. It can be worn lightly even in the sweaty season.

I have never heard the theory that the collar of a polo shirt is 90% ......, but in fact, it is no exaggeration to say that the success or failure of a polo shirt is determined by its collar. In this item, the collar rises up three-dimensionally thanks to the attention paid to each step of the process: devising a pattern that makes the collar look beautiful, adjusting the shape and size of the collar in millimeters, and the ingenuity of skilled craftspeople. . The beauty of the collar is a point that we would like you to pay attention to.

Furthermore, the durability of the important parts, the collar and cuffs, is also perfect. The ribs on the collar and cuffs are made of durable special spun yarn, so they do not fade easily even after repeated washing and do not lose their shape. Keep in mind that a polo shirt with a faded collar and cuffs will look poorer than you imagine.

As shown in the styling of this article, you can try wearing it with gear shorts and other items to bring it down to a more casual level just right for everyday use. In addition to the gray introduced here, the brand also offers a variety of bright colors such as green, pink, and yellow, so you can enjoy a pop of color in your outfits.
