The Row Mistral Wool and Silk-Blend Polo Shirt

Mistral Wool and Silk-Blend Polo Shirt

The Row excels at reducing foundational wardrobe garments to their purest form. The Mistral polo eliminates all non-essential elements: there are no ribbed cuff contrasts, no chest patches, and no superfluous seams. Knit from an ultra-fine yarn combining the dry warmth of virgin wool with the fluid drape of silk, the garment falls cleanly down the torso without clinging. It operates as the ultimate under-layer for unconstructed tailoring or as an austere, standalone statement of quality.

A fine-gauge knit polo shirt crafted in Italy from a lightweight blend of virgin wool and silk, featuring a neat point collar and minimal placket.
