Description
Product Overview
This cashmere short sleeve polo collar sweater is a men’s knit top with a classic polo collar and a three-button placket, knitted in cashmere with a smooth, fine surface. Ribbed cuffs and hem give the short sleeve edge a defined finish.
The cut sits between a polo shirt and a summer sweater, which suits resort, travel and smart-casual collections where a simple tee feels too plain. Collar height, placket depth and button spacing each change how it reads next to a standard knit top, so all three are reviewed on the sample. For more shapes in this category, see our men’s knit pullover collection.

Custom Development Information
Development starts from the buyer’s reference: an existing polo or knit top, a size chart, a color direction and the button preference. Our team reviews the collar shape, the placket depth and the button spacing against that reference, then prepares a sample in the confirmed yarn for approval.
MOQ is confirmed after reviewing the yarn, color, craftsmanship and order requirements. Sampling and production schedules are confirmed after all design details are approved. Color development, button sourcing and branded trims are handled together with the garment sample, so the buyer reviews the full specification at one approval stage.
