What makes seed stitch different from regular cashmere knit?

Seed stitch alternates knit and purl stitches in every row, creating a textured, bumpy surface instead of the smooth flat appearance of stockinette. This adds visual depth and helps the fabric resist pilling and snagging compared to plain-knit cashmere.

Can I machine wash this polo?

No, machine washing will damage the cashmere fibers. Hand wash in cold water separately, then lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. You can also have it dry cleaned with mild detergent if you prefer professional care.

How does the relaxed fit compare to a standard polo?

The relaxed fit is cut looser through the chest and body than a slim or athletic polo. It's designed to layer comfortably over a shirt or tee without pulling or clinging, so expect more room than a tailored style.

Is this warm enough to wear on its own in cool weather?

Yes, 12-gauge cashmere is thick enough to provide warmth as a standalone layer in cool to mild temperatures. For colder conditions, it layers well under a jacket or coat.

Will the open collar stay in place or flip up?

The half placket and open collar are designed to sit flat in a relaxed position. The collar won't button down, so it has a casual drape rather than a structured stand.

Textured Cashmere Polo With Seed Stitch Detail

Most cashmere polos are flat-knit stockinette, which shows every pill and snag within weeks. Seed stitch construction creates a textured surface that wears in instead of wearing out, and the visual depth means you're not relying on fit alone to look intentional. If you've avoided cashmere polos because they felt too dressy or too delicate, this one trades formality for function without giving up the softness.

Good gift when

People who want cashmere that looks interesting up close
Anyone tired of polos that ride up or feel tight across the chest
Those who layer knits over shirts or tees regularly
Buyers who prefer texture over pattern in their wardrobe

Skip it if Hand washing cashmere every few wears doesn't fit your routine, or you need something you can toss in the machine and forget

The details

A cashmere polo that works as hard as it feels soft. This long sleeve style is knit from 12-gauge Grade-A Mongolian cashmere and finished with a seed stitch technique that adds dimension to the surface. The half placket and open collar keep things relaxed, while ribbing at the cuffs and hem holds the fit without tightness.

The relaxed cut means you can layer it over a tee or wear it on its own without pulling or clinging. Seed stitch—alternating knit and purl stitches in every row—creates a subtle texture that breaks up the flat look of plain knit cashmere and adds visual interest without pattern or color work.

This is the polo you reach for when you want warmth and polish but refuse to button up or wear anything that feels like you're trying. It moves easily from coffee runs to dinner plans, and the textured surface hides the minor wear that shows up fast on smooth cashmere.

Available in two colors, with sizes from XS to XL. Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry, or dry clean for convenience.
