The Athlos Polo: our take on the understated elegance and timeless style of a polo. Old school classy yet athletic in true Athlos style, we designed the Polo with a super soft Supima Cotton blend. The Athlos polo handles it all: from spontaneous outdoor adventures to the weights room, and from an evening with friends to the office.
Featuring a technical knit with a sharp initial
hand-feel, the polo graduates with successive wears to natural softness. We started with a quick-drying polyester fiber, and blended it with moisture-wicking supima cotton in a pique knit. A textured fabric with perforations to enhance airflow, the pique knit keeps the polo breathable, while the anti-odour finish keeps the sweat odour at bay.
What gives is a tee that keeps you fresh
and comfortable over hours, a blend that's hard to beat in a polo.
We wanted a performance top that retains the classic aesthetics of the polo. We took our pique knit and added features like a minimal two-button placket, clean lines, and lean tapering sleeves: the result is a polo that pairs equally well on the trail as it does on the court.
While we aren't sure of its exact origin, the roots of the polo shirt can be traced to the birthplace of Polo: Manipur, India. The traditional polo uniform during this time featured long-sleeve cotton shirts, and to avoid the collars flapping during the game, the players attached buttons to secure them in place. These button-downed collar shirts worn by the polo players served as the inspiration for the original shirts designed by Manhattan-based brooks brothers in 1896.
In the early 1900's a certain French tennis legend Jean Rene Lacoste modified the original polo shirt to short sleeves and cotton pique fabric to inspire the modern day Lacoste polo. Given its roots linked to India, it was only befitting that we give our shot at re-designing the classic polo. And we couldn't be more kicked about it.
The Tee is soo soft and wear for the whole day feels like damm good thing..keep up the good work.
Ordered raglan tee in small size but needed to exchange it for m size as it was too much body hugging
Completely satisfied with this piece of garment .it speaks of finesse and craftsmanship.comfortable to wear made me look toned more than what Iam
The shirt is of great quality and fits perfectly.
Most of the colors however are unavailable on the website for most of the products since a long time.
Please consider re-stocking your inventory.
I have been skeptic towards purchasing Polo tshirts in general. I have bought many other products from Goathlos earlier but hadnt tried this one. This tshirt turned out to be pleasantly nice with perfect fit that I bought another one after the first purchase.
We want to minimise our environmental impact and have been a work in progress. We always skipped plastic, and since June 2020, we started shipping our orders minus extra tags, invoices, and content that often ends up in trash.
