"He supervised the fittings from a sunbeam, tested the collar with a nap, and blessed the final make. Some polos are designed. This one is & approved."
We started with the fabric: a mercerised Italian piqué that breathes on the back nine and still looks composed at lunch. Then we tailored it — close through the chest, clean at the collar — so it flatters standing, swinging, or slouched in the cart.
The details are quiet on purpose. A woven monogram at the chest, the red ampersand on the neck label, nothing shouting. Luxury that knows it doesn't need to.
The pieces Gianni pairs together — bought as a set, priced as a favour. One order, whole look, less than buying apart.
Fabric is genuinely special and the fit is spot on. Three people asked where it's from before the ninth hole.
Bought the Ink, came back for the Ivory a week later. Holds its shape all round, never clings. Worth every cent.
Finally something with a sense of humour that still looks the part in the clubhouse. True to size, take the smaller.
