Mens Linen Polo Shirt

The light and flowing knitted fabric of this polo shirt is made of certified organic linen. It wears comfortably even in high summer thanks to its cooling properties and shows a beautiful, material-typical melange tone. Quite traditional and at the same time up to date is the collar. It still looks the same as it did around 1900, when the polo shirt made its way from the polo field to the tennis court - and later from there into casual wear. Because the meaning behind it, to protect the neck from the sun, is still (sun-)red-hot.

The owl in the logo of the Danish label Knowledge Cotton Apparel stands for wisdom and knowledge, two elements that are key to the company's history and brand philosophy. Back in 1969, Jørgen Mørup and his father founded a small textile company in the Danish town of Herning and already started to focus on the subject of sustainability. At the end of the 1980s, the two began making their garments from ecologically produced cotton, becoming Denmark's green pioneers, as it were. The next logical step in 2008 was the foundation of Knowledge Cotton Apparel, this time with son respectively grandson Mads as part of the team, a label that unites the company's heritage with a contemporary, sustainable corporate strategy. Today, Knowledge Cotton Apparel stands for casual, sporty menswear, usually made from GOTS-certified organic cotton or "Happy Sheep Wool". The label also works with recycled PET bottles, which it shreds, melts down and spins into yarn to make a durable, water-repellent fabric for jackets.
