Story & heritage
The House Stripe Polo Knit is another DAKS x John Smedley piece, using the brand’s stripe language in a more restrained way than the full House Check garments. The official copy positions it as a warm-weather staple.
Its detail is specific: the iconic DAKS House Stripe appears around both cuffs and down the collar placket, making the brand code visible only at the edges.
Materials & craft
The official page describes a fine-gauge polo carefully crafted in John Smedley’s Derbyshire mill from Sea Island Cotton, with a tailored fit, fashioned stand collar, 30-gauge knit and Made in England origin.
How to choose & style
Treat it as the polished alternative to a pique polo. It tucks cleanly into pleated trousers, but the stripe detail also works under an unstructured blazer when you want DAKS detail without a full check.
