Product Insights
Drôle de Monsieur, meaning 'Funny Gentleman,' channels outsider founders' self-deprecation into a red merino polo that blends 70s retro with 90s French hip-hop, delivering a drapey, untucked silhouette. Its 100% merino wool thermoregulates, wicks moisture, and resists bagging through natural elasticity, while ribbed edging and overnight shape recovery ensure wear confidence. At $425, the price exceeds heritage merino polos, reflecting brand cachet rather than superior knit, but the unique cultural cachet and temperature-adaptive versatility make it a standalone top layer for mixed dress codes.
