Product Insights
The Percy Polo Shirt by Eliza Faulkner reimagines the classic polo with a double-faced knit that nearly doubles fabric weight, providing opaque opacity, thermal insulation, and a raw wavy hem that lies flat without curling. Its fitted Lyocell-reinforced shape resists pilling and distortion, while semi-sheer sleeves contrast the opaque body. The tradeoff: this sculpted, Montreal-made design demands careful laundering (fine-mesh bag, gentle cycle, flat dry) to protect its delicate edges and keyhole closure—a small price for a unique, thermally versatile staple.
Verified claims
- Fabric performance
- Double-faced knit nearly doubles fabric weight for better opacity and drape, and adds a thermal buffer.
- Edge finishing
- Raw wavy hem is possible because the double-faced knit does not curl.
- Construction
- Wavy edging is sculpted from the double-faced knit's raw edge, no facings or elastic.
- Durability
- Small-batch Montreal production and Lyocell reinforcement ensure pill resistance and tensile strength.
- Care
- Use a fine-mesh bag on gentle cold cycle, flat dry, and store folded to protect the wavy hems and keyhole.
- Fabric weight
- Double-faced knit weighs about twice a standard polo and provides passive insulation without overheating.
- Material
- 70% lyocell, 30% wool double-faced knit is machine-washable and resists bagging.
- Body opacity
- Double-faced knit body is opaque and holds shape when layered.
- Edge coverage
- Wavy edges lie flat without curling, preserving coverage.
- Opacity contrast
- Sleeves are intentionally semi-sheer to contrast with the opaque body.
- Shape retention
- Fitted shape resists permanent distortion through wear and care.
- Hem design
- Raw wavy hem maintains sculpted silhouette without curling.
- Layering
- Layering adds low-bulk warmth and a silky interior for seamless wear under outer layers.
- Styling
- Black is a neutral base; wavy hem lies flat untucked and adds visual interest.
- Keyhole closure
- Keyhole closure stays secure in wear but needs a fine-mesh bag to avoid snags.
- Thermal versatility
- Micro air pocket between layers provides passive insulation, extending comfort range beyond a standard polo.
- Design details
- Single-button keyhole and semi-sheer lettuce-edge sleeves replace classic 2-3 button placket and uniform piqué.

Deep Research
Care for lyocell-wool blends
- Even with Lyocell’s smooth fibers reducing friction‑induced pills, the 30% wool content will eventually develop light fuzz on high-friction areas like underarms and sides; a quick pass with a battery-operated fabric shaver every few wears removes pills without cutting the yarns, preserving the polished finish that defines the Eliza Faulkner aesthetic.
- Storing the polo folded in a drawer rather than on a hanger prevents the shoulder seams from stretching and the lightweight double-faced knit from developing permanent hanger bumps, so it slips on feeling as tailored as the day it was made.
- A fine-mesh laundry bag shields the polo’s wavy layered edges and single-button keyhole opening from catching on hooks, zippers, or velcro—without it, one rogue snag can permanently elongate the delicate stitches that define the garment’s feminine detailing.
- A low iron (or steamer) applied to the inside of the fabric smooths out wrinkles without flattening the signature wavy trim or scorching the wool, and doing it while the garment is ever so slightly damp reactivates the knit’s original drape and resets the layered effect.
- A mild, pH-neutral detergent labeled for woolens avoids the protease enzymes found in many standard formulas that gradually break down wool’s protein structure, so the fabric retains its buttery hand and doesn’t thin prematurely.
- The 70% Lyocell gives the fabric more tensile strength than pure wool, making it less prone to tearing during machine washing and more resistant to bagging at stress points like elbows—a forgiving knit that balances fine-gauge softness with everyday durability.
- Machine washing this Lyocell/wool blend on a gentle cycle in cold water prevents wool felting and shrinkage while sparing the overcast seams and wavy edging from the stress of higher agitation, helping the romantic details stay crisp wash after wash.
- After washing, smoothing the polo back to its original silhouette and laying it flat on a dry towel keeps the double-faced knit from stretching under its own water-logged weight—hanging it wet will distort the shoulders and pull the wavy hemline out of alignment, and once stretched, a fine-gauge knit rarely recovers.
Double-faced knit: structure and drape
- The overcast seams on the Percy polo upgrade a basic coverstitch by wrapping each raw edge in a dense spiral of thread, simultaneously finishing the interior cleanly and mechanically binding both knit faces together—a detail that directly prevents the internal layer separation or 'bubbling' that can plague poorly produced double knits after repeated wear and laundering.
- The 70% lyocell / 30% wool double-face fabric exploits lyocell's high-tenacity smooth fibers for a silky interior hand that slides effortlessly under outer layers, while the wool content brings low-bulk warmth and a subtle natural stretch that prevents the elbow bagging typical of 100% cellulosic knits—and because lyocell stabilizes wool's tendency to felt, the polo can be machine-washed gently without excessive shrinkage.
- Produced in Eliza Faulkner's Montreal atelier on specialized double-bed flat knitting machines suited to short runs, the Percy polo benefits from tighter stitch-by-stitch monitoring than mass-manufactured knits—the result is a more uniform double-face with fewer surface irregularities and a cleaner, pill-resistant finish that stands up to the gentle machine washing specified on its care label.
- Double-faced knit fabrics of this composition commonly range from 200 to 300 g/m²—roughly twice the areal weight of a standard 120–160 g/m² lightweight cotton polo—so the Percy shirt provides substantially better opacity and a more substantial drape that holds its shape when layered, yet remains supple because the extra mass comes from an interlocked second layer of fine yarn rather than a coarser single thread.
- Because the double-faced knit structure eliminates the curl inherent in single jersey, Eliza Faulkner is able to leave the hem raw and sculpt it into the signature wavy, layered edging without any facing or elastic; this creates a romantic, deconstructed silhouette that would require a separate binding on a typical polo, making the design a clear marker of technical craftsmanship over basic commodity construction.
- The micro air pocket trapped between the polo's two knitted faces functions as a passive insulator, so the shirt feels warmer than its lightweight hand suggests when worn alone, yet because that air gap is permeable it does not overheat when worn as a mid-layer—a thermal buffer effect that makes the piece suitable across a wider range of temperatures than a single-knit wool or cotton polo.
