POL Meira Argyle Knit Polo

$219.00

POL sizing. Small is an AU 10, Medium an AU 12, Large an AU 14. From the house chart.

Complimentary delivery on this piece, Australia-wide.

The pattern came out of a vintage fashion book. POL kept the argyle at the front and left the back plain, which is what lets a diamond knit sit under a jacket without turning into a golf costume.

Argyle comes loosely from the tartan of Clan Campbell of Argyll and from the patterned socks Highlanders wore from at least the seventeenth century. Golf only found it after the First World War. The Meira takes it back off the course, with three colours in the diamond in chocolate, green and charcoal, knitted in merino.

A polo collar with five buttons running from the neck to below the bust. Short sleeves with ribbed cuffs. The hem is ribbed too and finished with tiny scallops, which is the detail you only see up close.

POL is a Sydney label and cuts in Australian sizes, which are the same as UK sizes. Knits and some tops come in letter sizes instead: an XS is an AU 8, S an AU 10, M an AU 12, L an AU 14 and XL an AU 16. The measurements below are the house's own, in centimetres, taken from the body rather than the garment.

Size chart

10 S 93 76 102

14 L 103 86 112

Measurements in centimetres. Body measurements, not garment measurements.

Choosing between two sizes

POL's chart gives the body measurements each size is built on. The house suggests comparing them with your own. Its models generally wear an 8 unless a piece says otherwise. Any style we know to run differently is noted in its Fit line.

How to measure

Bust: around the fullest part.
Waist: around the slimmest part of your natural waist, between the ribcage and the navel.
Hip: around the widest part, at the top of the legs.

Caring for POL knitwear

Check the care label first. If a knit is not dirty, air it between wears rather than washing it.

Hand wash in cool water with a gentle or delicates detergent. The house advises against woolwash, which can make dyes run. A little hair conditioner leaves natural-fibre knits softer.

Roll the knit in a clean towel to lift out the water, reshape it while damp and dry it flat in the shade. Never on the line, which stretches it. Store it folded, not on a hanger.

Some pilling is normal on cotton, merino and cashmere, mostly under the arms. Hand washing helps, as does keeping knits away from fleece-lined jackets and rough surfaces. A pilling shaver lifts what appears. Take off jewellery that could snag before you put a knit on.

For everything else, follow the care label sewn into the piece.

Still not sure

We have handled these pieces and can tell you how a particular style sits against the chart. Write to us before you order, or come and try it in Red Hill. The full edit is in our POL collection.

Hand wash cold in wool detergent, or dry clean. Reshape while damp and dry flat in the shade. Never hang it. Fold it away.
