Christian Kimber Hastings Long Sleeve Polo, Scarab Green

Past a certain darkness, green stops being a colour and starts behaving like a neutral. Scarab is on the right side of that line.

There is enough blue in it that it moves between bottle and forest depending on where you are standing, which is a property of the garment dye as much as the pigment. Italian piqué cotton, made in Portugal, half placket, mother-of-pearl buttons.

It takes denim, grey flannel and tan leather without an argument, which is more than most colours in a wardrobe can claim.
