Product Insights
Paul Smith's half-century of design heritage shapes this pure merino wool polo, featuring a concealed placket and fine-gauge knit for a clean silhouette that layers under blazers. Its subtle cuff branding makes it a personal discovery, while merino's natural antimicrobial properties allow multiple wears between washes. The tradeoff: pure merino requires gentle washing and moth prevention. True to size and midweight, it suits cool evenings. At CAD 150, it undercuts other Paul Smith merino polos, but is currently out of stock.
Verified claims
- Brand legacy
- Paul Smith's 1970-founded legacy ensures refined fit and proportion.
- Sizing
- True to size: a 6-2 model with a 38-inch chest wears a medium for regular fit.
- Silhouette
- The fine-gauge knit provides a clean silhouette that layers well under a blazer.
- Placket
- The concealed placket hides the buttons for a smooth, uninterrupted front that layers cleanly under blazers and suits business-casual settings.
- Material
- 100% fine merino wool — softer hand, but requires gentle washing.
- Design positioning
- The 100% fine merino knit has a softer, more delicate hand than nylon-reinforced merino pique polos, aligning it with luxury sweater dressing rather than travel-ready gear.
- Design heritage
- Half-century of Paul Smith design authority shapes the polo's proportions and details.
- Refined styling
- Hidden placket and fine-gauge knit create a clean, sharp silhouette for business-casual.
- Care
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle inside out in a mesh bag using a pH-neutral, enzyme-free wool wash; skip fabric softener, flat dry, and wash only when needed.
- Storage
- Store with cedarwood or lavender sachets to deter moths.
- Odor resistance
- Merino's natural antimicrobial properties allow multiple wears between washes.
- Competitive value
- At CAD 150, it undercuts Paul Smith's $325 short-sleeve merino polo.
- Versatility
- The fine-gauge merino knit is substantial enough for cool evenings yet light enough to layer under a blazer.
- Fabric weight
- The weight varies by source: Harvey Nichols describes it as midweight, while Selfridges and the Paul Smith official site list similar styles as lightweight; the fine merino knit likely sits between the two and works for layering in cooler weather or as a standalone in mild conditions.
- Breathability
- The fine merino fibers provide natural breathability and moisture-wicking, helping the polo regulate temperature and stay fresh through a long day.
