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.
