Rourke Embossed Knit Johnny Collar Polo

Robert Barakett

simons.ca

Pure Merino Trompe-L'oeil Sweater: Choose this if you want a fine-gauge crewneck pullover with a trompe-l'oeil layered look, made of 100% merino wool, which the retailer describes as a luxurious knit. It has ribbed neckline, cuffs, and hem with contrasting lighter gray trim at the inner collar and cuff edges, a classic straight silhouette with set-in sleeves, and comes in Charcoal or Taupe in sizes small through extra-large. As worn on the model it appears fitted across the chest and upper arms with slight pull lines at the torso where arms are crossed, so the fit may run close.[1,3,4]Rourke Embossed Knit Johnny Collar Polo: Choose this if you want a short-sleeve knitted polo with a distinct texture: the Canadian Robert Barakett piece is 100% cotton in an embossed piqué knit with a raised dotted appearance, an open pointed Johnny collar over a short V-shaped placket, and contrasting ribbed cuffs, hem, and solid trim. It suits wearers who like striped detailing — horizontal bands run across the upper chest and back — and a relaxed, slightly fitted silhouette that sits untucked at the hip, with sizes from SMALL to XX-LARGE. Note that as shown on the model, the fabric shows slight bunching and wrinkle lines near the hem, which may reflect styling rather than the garment itself.[5,6,7,8]
