WORKERS_IZ Polo, Forest

When I was young, I didn't wear polo shirts. In the summer, I wore T-shirts. Later, when I started wearing shirts, I would wear broadcloth or thin chambray with the sleeves rolled up. However, with the recent heatwaves, I started wearing just one T-shirt in the middle of summer, and this is what I ended up with.

"It looks neat even when worn alone" 3 PLY T. If you wear 3 PLY frequently, the next request will come up.

"I want a cut and sewn shirt with a collar" = "Polo Shirt" Finally, the polo shirt.

However, when it comes to making it, the pique body, collar, and cuffs are knitted and sewn on a flat knitting machine in a way that is different from that of a typical T-shirt.

Although they had unique know-how in polo shirt manufacturing, we had not been able to find a manufacturer that could match the atmosphere, quantity, delivery date, and quality that WOREKRS was looking for, so the idea had been shelved for a long time. When I mentioned this to Tailor Grand's Hasei in Yokohama, I found out that one of Grand's customers made polo shirts! I get along well with Grand and I talk to them well. (There is also the mysterious connection that Hasei of Grand is from Okayama, and I live in Okayama.) As a customer of Grand, there is no way that our direction could be different! So, I was introduced to them, and finally the polo shirt project started. (It also felt like a connection because the manufacturer likes trial bikes. The first bike I ever rode was a TLR200.)

When it came to actually designing it, I was troubled! The crocodile was chasing me everywhere, and at first I was thinking things like, "Is it a cat or a tiger on my chest?" However, when I was making the pattern, I realized that the design method is more similar to that of a shirt than a cut and sew.

The design was decided easily when I thought, "What would it be like if I designed it as a shirt?" There is a pocket on the chest. Instead of a logo patch, it has a subtle W embroidery.

The shape is an I-Z style with a longer back. The white ones are product washed, and the colored ones are product dyed, giving them a worn-in look.

This is last year's model. We couldn't keep up with the inspection, so we were late in releasing it, and it's coming out a year late. Sorry...

If you're looking for it, it's here! Here!
