Stay cool through hot summer days with the Ice Cotton Skipper Polo Neck, a refined summer knit crafted in Japan by MOONCASTLE. Made from 100% cotton using specialized Ice Cotton yarn from Switzerland's historic Spoerry mill, this shirt offers an instantly refreshing, cool-to-the-touch feel without any chemical treatments. The high-twist yarn is taken in four strands and knitted in a 12-gauge jersey style, creating a fabric that's crisp yet supple, light, breathable, and smooth against the skin.
The buttonless skipper design opens the collar just enough to give the chest and neckline a relaxed, effortlessly grown-up look. It stands on its own as a single layer or works well as an inner piece under a jacket. Sleeve ribbing is designed with a careful balance, snug enough to hold its shape but never tight. On the runway, the brand's models wore a size L at 182 to 184cm, giving a sense of the fit's true-to-size, basic silhouette.
This item is brand new. Recommended care is a gentle hand wash in a large basin with dissolved neutral detergent; smooth out wrinkles while the shirt is still wet, then dry it flat or hang it over a thick pole to preserve its shape. The cotton knit will naturally shrink about 2 to 3 centimeters right after washing, though it loosens again and adapts back to your body as you wear it. If you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up. Available sizes range from S to XL.
