Story & heritage

John Smedley's company history says the classic three-button polo shirt was re-launched as Isis in 1971 as the brand expanded its outerwear offer beyond underwear.

That makes Isis one of the clearest archival anchors in the line-up: a house polo with a documented place in the company's own timeline.

Materials & craft

This trusted go-to style dates to the 1930s yet still maintains a contemporary feel. Crafted from John Smedley's Sea Island Cotton, this knitted polo shirt features a fashioned collar and three-button placket. Style Isis with tailored trousers and a blazer as smart evening attire, or wear with your favourite denim for a stylish off-duty look.

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.
