There are two types of polo shirts. First there are the ones you wear to work or around the house. The polo shirt can play many roles in your wardrobe which is why it has proven to be such an enduring piece of clothing. But then there are the polo shirts so elite that only a chosen few are ever seen wearing them.You may not be aware of the fact that there is an ultimate luxury brand of polo shirts made by a French brand named Vicomte A. This year the branded shirts were given to polo players who participated at the June Guards Polo Club event held in Windsor, England. The charity equestrian event was attended by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Turki bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and a number of other dignitaries and royal family members from the Middle East.
The founder of Vicomte A., Arthur de Soultrait, was quoted as saying, "Equestrian sporting lifestyle is the very fabric of Vicomte A. As a brand, we have a pedigree and history of supporting key Polo sponsorships across Europe and the U.S.” Other events sponsored have included equestrian show jumping, sailboat racing and automobile racing.
The company sells a complete line of high end sportswear that only the elite wear including men’s shirts, women’s clothing and hunting wear. The kind of people seen wearing this brand include the Minister of Economy in France and the French Prime Minister. The cotton used in the shirts is handpicked in Peru and Egypt. These are not your typical polo shirts, but it is interesting to note that any polo shirt can achieve such high rank.
Most people aren’t even interested in this kind of clothing. They need down-to-earth polo shirts and sweatshirts that are durable, affordable, easy to wash and able to handle the day’s activities with ease. Fortunately, they are easy to find online!
