DESCRIPTION
The houndstooth pattern is like a good film noir thriller: black and white, sophisticated, and never boring. It was originally used in everyday clothing in the Scottish Lowlands in the 19th century. In the 1920s, the British upper class discovered the pattern for themselves. Houndstooth made its breakthrough into the fashion world in the 1950s and 1960s thanks to designers like 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 benefits of this luxurious natural fiber. The classic black and white houndstooth pattern gives the piece a striking yet versatile look. The polo collar underscores the vintage flair of this pleasantly soft garment. The sleeves and back are solid-colored, in keeping with the design aesthetic of mid-century fashion. Subtle contrasting stripes on the collar edge and across the elastic, ribbed knit cuffs reveal the high design standards.
The contrasting embroidery on the back is a homage to TOMS's 1959 film classic (“...forging signatures and spend on almost anyone.”).
When choosing trousers, you have a wide variety of styles to choose from. Black or light-colored trousers and black or brown leather shoes will 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 date, or for sophisticated casual looks.
Hound's Tooth – a pattern with a bite – loved by style icons and trendsetters for decades. A fashion statement with cult status.
