Scottevest Debuts New Performance Polo

Thursday 07th of June 2007 09:21:01 PM

Every few years, Polo Shirts come back into fashion. While the original style created by Rene Lacoste remains the same, new fabrics, colours, and sizes are introduced by designers. This year, the trend is to wear the shirts with the collars raised. Scottevest released its new performance polo that is available in three colours, black, smoke, and olive, with more colours available soon. While these Polo Shirts are not that different from others on the market, it’s the small details that people will find interesting.

Small details include embroidery on the back of the collar, stitching on the split sides, which distinguish the longer back from the shorter front, tagless collar, and PAN (Personal Area Network) that allows wires for music devices and cell phones to be attached to the shirt to make using the devices more comfortable. Collars are made to stand up not only for fashion purposes, but also to protect the neck from the sun's rays.

Another good quality about these Polo Shirts is that they are made from polyester, which means they won't shrink when washed. They are also breathable and provide moisture management for those who plan on wearing them while playing tennis or participating in other sports activities.

Polo Shirts are manufactured by many companies, so choosing one will depend on one's preferences. A quality shirt should be easy to wear and not feel constrictive, especially when worn during sporting events, walking, or other physical activity. If choosing a shirt made of cotton, buying one size larger may help in case it shrinks after washing.
