Michel Rouen Men's Quick-Dry Jacquard Polo, black heather

Jacquard and heather at the same time: the pattern is knitted into the cloth and the yarn itself is two-toned, so the shirt has a texture and a grain rather than one or the other. Eight colourways and all of them are muted: black, lilac grey, lavender, dark blue, dark khaki, light blue, dark green, wine red.

It is the cheapest jacquard we make, and the price band is the widest of any cut here, because the older colourways have come down and the newer ones have not. Nothing else changes between them: same three buttons, same collar, same polyester and spandex knit with UPF 30+ on the label, S to 3XL. If you want the effect of a woven shirt with none of the ironing, this is the shortest way to it.

One of 10 on the polo shirts rail in the Michel Rouen range. It also answers to golf polos, jacquard polos, upf golf shirts. A size letter describes the garment rather than your body, so measure your chest once and hold the figure against the chart on the buying page. The UPF figure describes dry, unstretched cloth, and you lose part of it when the shirt is soaked through or pulled tight. If you find a figure here that disagrees with the piece in your hands, tell us: how we keep them current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
