Story & heritage

John Smedley's Mod Style editorial singles out Dorset among the long-sleeved polos that moved from subcultural staple to modern wardrobe classic.

In the current collection it carries that legacy forward in extra fine merino, preserving the polish of a collared knit while shifting the mood toward cooler-weather dressing.

Materials & craft

Expertly crafted with turnback ribbed cuffs and a fashioned collar, slightly larger than our Cotswold style, Dorset is a knitwear classic. Created from extra fine merino wool, this knitted polo shirt offers a sophisticated aesthetic when worn alone, an ideal layering piece in the cooler weather.

How to choose & style

Wear it with tailored trousers or dark denim so the collar brings polish without making the look feel stiff.

Because the knit is fine and clean rather than bulky, it layers neatly under a blazer, lightweight jacket or cardigan.

Use the fine merino handle to bridge smart and relaxed dressing: it sits comfortably under tailoring but still feels easy with denim or chinos.
