"Vintage photos, magazines, books it inspires us all, including the 3sixteen team on this polo. The skipper polo style does away with the buttons, keeping the attitude, class and allure you'd have to add to a buttoned polo. This knit is fashioned from a cotton and linen yarn giving it a slightly dryer hand but no less soft than their cotton counterparts. Just more reason to wear this all year long."---Kenshawn
