Story of a timeless icon
THE FIRST POLO ORIGINATED ON THE TENNIS COURT
In 1896, John Brooks invented the original "button-down shirt" inspired by English polo players.
The button-down shirt became a staple of American fashion in the 20th century and the forerunner of the modern polo.
The first ever polo shirt was designed for tennis and had a green alligator logo.
At the 1926 U.S. Open Championships, a tennis player wore the first polo shirt;
white, short-sleeved, made of pique cotton with a protruding flat collar, buttons, and the back longer than the front.
THEN WHY DO WE CALL IT A POLO?
Originally polo players wore thick long-sleeved shirts, typically Oxford cotton, with a button-down collar.
John Brooks invented the button-down shirt, although it was unsuitable for movement. So, in the 1930s, upon hearing about the tennis polo shirts, the polo players promptly adopted them.
SINCE 1972, MALO HAS MADE THE POLO SHIRT A SOPHISTICATED MUST-HAVE
The light cashmere polo shirt can replace the shirt for elegance.
The cotton polos come in different gauges and weights.
Malo has been studying silhouettes, proportions and details for 50 years to create a small masterpiece of craftsmanship.
It is the historical looms that create the magic.
There is a world behind every polo shirt: stitches, patterns, collars, sleeves, ribs, drop-stitching...
A continual study.
The necks of our polo shirts are dropped and shaped, it takes dedication and care to create them.
This method is refined and allows us to avoid any waste in the making that can occur with the classic cut and sew machining.
We owe John Brooks for the invention of the sports polo, but Malo is responsible for its sublimation into a timeless garment.
