The Valencia Sweater Polo in Heather Coal Rib

About this find

The Valencia Sweater Polo from Taylor Stitch is a knit polo in Heather Coal Rib. It is made from 85% BCI cotton and 15% linen, a mix of two natural fibers. The body is knit at 12 gauge, which gives the classic polo shape a fine, even knit surface with plenty of texture to look at.

The main feature is the drop stitch stripe construction, which runs through both the body and the sleeves. That puts a subtle striped texture across the front, back and arms, so the sweater has visual interest without any loud color or print. The deep coal tone keeps the look calm and easy to wear.

The collar and placket are finished in a full milano rib knit, while the sleeve and bottom opening use a 1x1 rib. The hem is flat, so the bottom edge has a clean finish. Together these details give you several knit textures in one piece, each doing its own job at the neckline, cuffs and hem.

To care for it, hand wash cold and lay flat to dry. Dark denim works well with the coal tone, so the stripes can stay the focus. This polo is made in Vietnam, and it is a good pick when you want a knit with real texture and a tidy polo shape.
