Product Insights
The Johnny Collar Pleated Polo Shirt by Homme Plissé Issey Miyake offers a permanent, heat-set accordion pleat structure applied after sewing, a technique road-tested by dancers to ensure durability and wrinkle resistance that survives washing and packing. Its buttonless Johnny collar creates a V opening that lengthens the neck and lies flat for clean layering under a blazer, while the open placket improves breathability. Made in Japan from 100% polyester, the shirt transitions from casual to business casual but requires machine washing at 30°C without tumble drying or wringing, with storage by rolling along the pleats. As part of the limited COLOR PLEATS 2 seasonal collection, scarcity drives replica interest, and buyers note the black version can be see-through when stretched.
Verified claims
- Pleating process
- The garment is cut and sewn first, then pleated after assembly, which creates the vertical accordion pleats rather than using pre-pleated cloth.
- Heritage
- The pleating technique was road-tested by professional dancers before launch.
- Neckline effect
- The open, pointed Johnny collar's buttonless V opening visually lengthens the neck and frames the face.
- Pleat texture
- Pleating continues into the collar and is fully exposed by the open front.
- Layering
- The open pointed Johnny collar has a buttonless V opening and lies flat for clean layering under a blazer.
- Breathability
- Open placket improves airflow compared to a closed polo.
- Durability
- Heat-set polyester accordion pleats are permanent and wrinkle-resistant, staying sharp after washing and packing.
- Pleating technology
- 100% polyester with heat-set accordion pleats set after assembly.
- Outfit reference
- Styled with wide chinos and Margiela boots in a Japanese streetwear look.
- Travel readiness
- Wrinkle-resistant pleats pack flat and shake out ready for dinner.
- Travel performance
- Polo stays wrinkle-free after packing, is machine washable, and dries quickly.
- Versatility
- Designed as a versatile top, the polo moves between everyday casual and smart-casual occasions and layers cleanly under a blazer.
- Care routine
- Machine wash at 30°C or below on a gentle cycle inside a laundry net with no fabric softener; dry flat in the shade, and do not tumble dry, wring, iron, or steam, then roll along the pleat lines for storage.
- Manufacturing quality
- Assembled in Japan, where manufacturing consistency supports the precise heat-set pleats that remain permanent and crease-proof.
- Status
- The Homme Plissé line is adopted as an art-world uniform, and Steven Yeun, Michael B. Jordan, and P.J. Tucker have been spotted wearing the brand.
- Seasonal collection
- Part of the COLOR PLEATS 2 seasonal line with a finite production run.
- Opacity
- The black version is generally opaque and not sheer because the polyester is tightly woven with a structured pleated finish, though the fabric is lightweight; buyers with opacity concerns should check thickness in person.
- Fit and silhouette
- The polo has a relaxed fit with drop shoulders, and the heat-set pleats create a structured A-line shape that stands away from the upper arm and stays crisp through wear.
- Pleat continuity
- Because the garment is pleated after assembly, the pleats run continuously across seams and panels so the whole polo drapes as one textured surface.
- Fabric hand
- The lightweight polyester provides enough body to keep the heat-set pleats sharp while still draping and moving with the body.
- Sizing
- Homme Plissé sizes this polo by height rather than chest: size 2 fits roughly 172–177 cm, size 3 about 178–183 cm, and size 4 about 184–189 cm, with finished body lengths of approximately 64, 67, and 70 cm and chest references of 92, 96, and 100 cm; width changes little between sizes, so choose by length.
- Stretch recovery
- The heat-set accordion construction flexes with the body and returns to its original shape rather than staying stretched out after a day's wear.
- Collar shape retention
- The collar is heat-set pleated polyester like the body, so it holds its open, pointed shape and stands away from the neck rather than collapsing or going limp with normal wear; ironing or steaming should be avoided.
- Warm-weather breathability
- The pleated construction makes the fabric sit away from the skin so air moves through it, and it dries quickly, so it feels breathable for polyester; in high humidity it still won't wick like a technical performance fabric but won't feel as hot as dense cotton piqué.

Compared within this brand.
| Johnny Collar Pleated Polo Shirt: Choose this if you want a designer take on the black polo with Homme Plissé Issey Miyake's signature fine vertical accordion pleats, which run continuously over the body, collar, and short sleeves for a ribbed, matte texture. It has an open, pointed Johnny collar with a shallow V placket and no visible buttons, a relaxed fit with drop shoulders, and is made in Japan from 100% polyester pleated after garment assembly. It comes in Black in sizes 2, 3, and 4, and the straight hem sits near the natural waist on the model.[2,3,4,5,6,7] | Pleated Long-Sleeve T-Shirt: Choose this if you want a structured take on the essential black tee with the brand's signature pleating — it is made of 100% polyester that is pleated after garment assembly, giving it dense, narrow vertical pleats across the body and long batwing sleeves. It has a relaxed fit with a rounded crew neckline and a straight hem that falls to the upper hip, and Simons describes it as perfect for bold layering. It comes in Black only, in sizes 2 through 4, and the listing notes it is fitted through the shoulders and torso as worn.[8,9,10] | Officer Collar Pleated Shirt: Choose this if you want a black, long-sleeve pleated shirt with a buttoned officer collar that sits close to the neck, offering the relaxed fit with drop shoulders and comfort the retailer describes as effortlessly refined. Its 100% lightweight polyester is pleated after garment assembly, with vertical pleats running from shoulder to hem—including the sleeves—and pleating the brand describes as more spaced out than usual. Note it comes only in black, in sizes 2 and 3, and is fully synthetic rather than a natural-fiber shirt.[11,12,13] |
