Knitted men's polo shirt

The knitted fabric of this polo shirt, a striking, airy waffle piqué with a highly textured surface, is made from pure, skin-friendly cotton. It has a grainy feel and contrasts pleasantly with the fine ribbed knit cuffs on the sleeves and body. The polo neckline is fastened with two stone nut buttons.

Long ago, dockworkers in Genoa wore work clothes made of a strong cotton fabric dyed with indigo. Since Genoa belonged to France at the time, this went by the French name "Bleu de Gênes", which in English-speaking countries became "Blue Jeans". Against the backdrop of this history, the Blue de Gênes label was launched in Kolding, Denmark, in 2010. But Ole Madsen, the mastermind behind it, has long since gone beyond jeans. He manufactures authentic clothing from selected materials, whose timeless design literally endures the years. Production takes place almost exclusively in Europe, with Blue de Gênes working with small, family-run businesses that are each specialists in their field. Thus, the jeans come from northern Italy, some pants from Turkey and the shirts from Portugal.
