Product Insights
The Scotch & Soda Textured Striped Knit Polo, at 188 CAD, offers a sweater-polo hybrid feel through its fully knitted 94% cotton/6% nylon body, delivering fluid drape, natural stretch, and varied textured stripe bands while resisting bagging better than all-cotton alternatives, but requires gentle machine washing and low-heat ironing; its relaxed Amsterdam aesthetic and visual texture over logos justify the premium over heritage polos, and the regular fit supports both standalone summer wear and layering under a jacket.

Deep Research
Value and competitive positioning at this price
- The 'Scotch & Soda at Le 31' designation means the polo is part of Simons' curated concept space — an editorial edit that lends a layer of exclusivity and design trust not present in mass-market department store offerings, helping to support the 188 CAD price for a brand that sits below the true luxury tier.
- At 188 CAD, the Scotch & Soda knit polo sits above the classic cotton piqué polos from Ralph Lauren (~145 CAD) and Lacoste (~135 CAD) but below luxury knit polos from Sunspel (~210 CAD), carving out a space where design texture and pattern experimentation justify the premium over more recognizable but simpler heritage alternatives.
- A fully knitted body replaces the cut-and-sewn construction of conventional polos, delivering a more fluid drape, natural stretch without elastane, and a silhouette that layers more softly under a jacket than stiff cotton piqué — effectively a sweater-polo hybrid that extends wearability across seasons.
- The cotton-nylon blend — uncommon at this price where 100% cotton piqué dominates — gives the shirt a subtle sheen, improved shape retention, and a softer hand feel that aligns it more with lightweight knitwear than with structured sports polos, offering a distinct hybrid garment that resists the bagging typical of all-cotton polos.
- Rather than the solid colors, micro-stripes, and embroidered logos that define Ralph Lauren and Lacoste offerings, this polo uses varied knit textures and mixed stripe patterns, positioning it as a statement piece for wearers who prioritize visual interest and a relaxed Amsterdam aesthetic over traditional preppy signaling.

Q&A
3 answered- Is the fit of this polo true to size, or does it run slim/relaxed?
- This polo has a regular fit and runs true to size based on similar Scotch & Soda styles [1].
- Can this cotton-nylon blend polo be machine washed and tumble dried, or does it require hand washing / dry cleaning?
- Based on care instructions for similar Scotch & Soda knit polos, we recommend machine washing on a gentle cycle at 30°C, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and iron on low [1]. For this cotton-nylon blend, hand washing or using a mesh bag is advised to protect the knit.
- How does the weight of this knit compare to a typical cotton polo? Is it suitable for summer or more for layering?
- This is a soft and lightweight knit, making it suitable for summer wear. It is lighter than a typical thick cotton piqué polo but not as thin as a standard t-shirt. It can be worn on its own in warm weather or layered under a jacket in cooler conditions.
