Men’s Black Knit Polo

Description

The black knit polo is Orphic’s textured black — a basketweave-stitch cotton knit with cream-tipped collar and cuffs, a soft open collar and the Orphic script embroidered in cream at the chest. It reads clean and quiet, then rewards a second look up close.

The whole character is in the stitch. A dense basketweave runs across the body and sleeves, breaking up the black so it never looks flat or cheap, while a fine line of cream tips the collar and cuffs for just enough contrast. The collar sits soft and open, and ribbed edges keep the shape trim and stop it stretching out over the day.

Each polo is knitted and finished in small runs, then checked piece by piece before it ships. The yarn is a mid-weight combed cotton chosen to hold the texture without feeling heavy — so it breathes on a warm day yet keeps enough body to look sharp rather than slouchy. It’s a quiet-luxury basic in the truest sense: nothing shouts, everything is considered.

Why the black knit polo works

Black is the one colour every man already builds around, and a black knit polo is the most versatile version of it. Dressed down it sits with denim and white trainers; dressed up it slides under a blazer without a crease of effort. The cream tipping keeps it from disappearing into an all-black outfit, and the texture means it never looks like a plain tee with a collar.

How to style it

For an easy warm-weather look, wear the black knit polo open over cream or stone trousers with loafers. For evening, button it up with black tailored trousers and a leather belt. When it cools, layer it under an unstructured blazer or overshirt — the basketweave adds texture that plain knits can’t.

Fabric, fit & care

• Fabric: soft, breathable combed cotton in a basketweave knit.

• Fit: cut close through the shoulder and clean through the body — true to size. Between sizes? Size down for trimmer, up for relaxed.
• Detail: cream Orphic script embroidered at the left chest; ribbed cuffs and hem.
• Care: machine wash cold inside out, do not tumble dry, reshape while damp and dry flat to keep the texture crisp.

Black knit polo — FAQs

Is the black knit polo true to size?
Yes — it’s a close, clean fit. Take your usual size, or size down if you like it trimmer.

Can I wear the black knit polo formally?
Absolutely. Buttoned up under a blazer with tailored trousers, it works for smart-casual events and dinners.

Will the cream tipping fade or the polo shrink?
No — wash cold and dry flat, and both the colour and the shape hold wash after wash.

What season is it for?
It’s a short-sleeve knit made for spring and summer, but it layers beautifully in cooler months.

Designed in-house and made in Pakistan, the black knit polo comes in sizes S, M and L — part of Orphic’s latest New Releases, built to be worn on repeat.
