Product Insights

The Kuwalla Openwork Stripe Johnny Collar Polo reinterprets the 1950s John Smedley-originated buttonless camp collar as a breathable, moisture-wicking openwork knit in 72% recycled polyester that drapes softly and conforms to the body, enabling styling tricks like wearing it open over bare skin or with a chain, layering a fitted tank underneath for intentional sheer, or smoothing it flat under a blazer thanks to its collapsing V-neck and boxy fit. Its key tradeoff: the openwork construction snags and ladders easily from minor catches, requiring careful washing in a mesh bag, but polyester reinforcement prevents holes from stretching out of shape. At $85, it costs about half as much as comparable styles from Polo RL and Sunspel.

Verified claims

Collar
Originated with John Smedley in the 1950s as a buttonless, unlined camp collar.
Silhouette
The buttonless V-neck narrows the chest and lies flat under a blazer.
Styling
Worn open over a bare chest or with a chain for a 1950s resort look.
Drape
Openwork knit creates a soft, wavy drape that conforms to the body.
Snag risk
Snags and ladders easily from minor catches.
Breathability
Breathable knit with moisture-wicking recycled polyester.
Transparency
Transparent openwork reveals layers underneath for styling.
Layering
Layer a fitted tank underneath for intentional sheer; the flat collar also works under a blazer.
Proportion
The boxy fit works with low-profile shoes and a French tuck into trousers or shorts.
Fabric
The openwork knit is breathable, quick-drying, and prone to snagging from rough accessories.
Fit
Wider, shorter fit with a V-neck collar that collapses for smooth layering.
Shape retention
Polyester reinforcement prevents the knit holes from stretching out of shape.
Durability
Openwork knit snags easily; recycled polyester maintains shape.
Care
Machine wash cold inside out in a mesh bag to prevent snagging.
Moisture wicking
Blend wicks moisture and dries faster than 100% cotton.
Price positioning
At $85, this polo is about half the price of comparable openwork knits from Polo RL and Sunspel.
Performance
The openwork knit is breathable, fast-drying, and designed for layering.
Material
72% recycled polyester blend reinforces the openwork mesh, wicks moisture, and provides breathable, soft drape.
