Ashford Knit Polo – Viscose-Polyester Herringbone | Kingswell

The Ashford Knit Polo is a contemporary interpretation of the classic men's polo shirt, crafted by Kingswell from a soft viscose-polyester blend that delivers exceptional breathability, structural integrity, and a refined herringbone surface texture. The subtle herringbone knit pattern adds visual depth and sophistication to an otherwise clean silhouette, while contrast piping at the collar and button placket introduces a sharp, tailored detail that elevates this polo beyond the ordinary. Designed for men who approach everyday dressing with the same intention as their most formal occasions.

Why choose this polo shirt?

• Herringbone knit texture: The viscose-polyester herringbone weave creates a rich, dimensioned surface that reads as refined and considered — a step above single-jersey or piqué polo constructions.
• Contrast piping detail: Precision contrast piping at the collar and placket introduces a clean, sporting heritage cue that elevates the garment into quiet luxury territory without ostentatious branding.
• Breathable comfort: The soft viscose-polyester blend allows air circulation and moisture management, making the polo comfortable across warm-weather occasions and active days alike.
• Tailored silhouette: The structured, slim-fit cut flatters the male frame and layers cleanly beneath a sport coat or blazer for elevated smart-casual dressing.

Styling & Fit

1. Smart-casual elevation: Wear with slim tailored chinos in navy or stone and leather Derby shoes — the herringbone polo carries a fully composed smart-casual look with minimal effort.
2. Layered authority: Place a single-button sport coat in cream or camel over the Ashford Knit Polo for a polished layered look that reads as intentionally curated.
3. Weekend ease: Pair with well-fitted dark denim and clean leather trainers for a refined casual weekend ensemble that maintains the Kingswell standard of quiet elegance.

Care & Maintenance

• Machine wash at 30°C on a delicate cycle — the viscose content requires low-temperature washing to preserve the fabric's soft hand-feel and dimensional stability.
• Lay flat to dry or tumble on a very low heat setting; hanging wet viscose-blend knitwear can distort the neckline and shoulder seams over time.
• Iron on a low synthetic setting if needed — avoid high heat directly on the herringbone knit surface to prevent fibre damage or permanent press marks.
