DESCRIPTION
The houndstooth pattern is like a good film noir thriller: black and white, sophisticated, and never boring. It originally found use in everyday clothing in the Scottish Lowlands in the 19th century. In the 1920s, the British upper class discovered the pattern for themselves. Houndstooth achieved its decisive breakthrough into the fashion world in the 1950s and 1960s through designers such as Christian Dior and Coco Chanel, who also popularized it in women's fashion.
This elegant polo sweater made of pure merino wool combines timeless elegance with the many advantages of this luxurious natural fiber. The classic black and white houndstooth pattern gives the model a striking yet versatile look. The polo collar emphasizes the vintage flair of this pleasantly soft garment. The sleeves and back are plain-colored, which corresponds to the design aesthetic of mid-century fashion. Subtle contrast stripes on the collar edge and above the elastic, ribbed knit cuffs reveal the high design standards.
The contrasting embroidery on the back is a homage to TOM's 1959 film classic ("...forging signatures and spend on almost anyone.").
When choosing trousers, you have a wide range of stylistic options. With black or light fabric trousers and black or brown leather shoes, you emphasize the timeless classicism of this polo sweater. Jeans or chinos are the perfect choice for a relaxed modern-retro style. Worn under a blazer, coat, or trench coat, this polo sweater is ideal for the office, a dinner, or for upscale leisure looks.
Hound’s Tooth - a pattern with bite - loved by style icons and trendsetters for decades. A fashion statement with cult status.
