Spier & Mackay Polo Shirts

To achieve equal parts durability, softness, and shape retention, this slim-fitting polo by Spier & Mackay undergoes a detailed production process that begins with the fabric. This Ontario-based company starts with extra-long staple cotton, which is known for its silky texture. The cotton is first knit on a Japanese-made Fukuhara knitting machine, then enzyme washed before being dyed and loop dried. The resulting shirt will incur little more than 3 percent shrinkage, meaning it can be washed—and machine dried—time and time again without affecting its shape or fit. In classic polo fashion, the shirt features a three-button neckline and ribbing on the sleeves and cuffs for a put-together look.
