A sophisticated alternative to the traditional polo, this Gran Sasso long-sleeve knit is crafted in Italy from an exceptionally refined virgin wool and silk blend. Lightweight, smooth, and elegant, it combines the comfort of fine knitwear with the polished appearance of a tailored shirt.
The fabric blends 70% virgin wool with 30% silk, providing natural warmth, breathability, and softness, while the silk lends a subtle lustre and fluid drape. Its ultrafine-gauge knit creates a sleek, lightweight texture that layers effortlessly under tailoring without adding unnecessary bulk.
The dusky blue colour offers a softer and more nuanced alternative to classic navy, giving the polo a refined, contemporary character while remaining exceptionally versatile. A three-button polo collar adds a relaxed yet sophisticated neckline, while ribbed detailing at the collar, cuffs, and hem provides structure and a clean finish.
Equally suited to smart-casual dressing or refined layering, this is an ideal piece for fall, winter, and transitional weather.
About Gran Sasso: Founded in 1952 in Sant'Egidio alla Vibrata, Abruzzo, Gran Sasso is a family-run Italian knitwear specialist renowned for its premium yarns, precise craftsmanship, and understated approach to luxury.

Styling Tip: Pair the dusky blue polo with beige, cream, or light gray trousers and brown suede loafers for an elegant contrast.
