3 inches above the elbow, covering most of the upper arm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe longer short sleeves are a deliberate design feature to give the tennis polo a sense of modest elegance, in contrast to cotton polos nowadays which often stop mid-bicep, making them more informal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe cuffs and hem have longer ribs, keeping the top well fitted around the body, enabling ease of movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe believe that the longer ribs also look more flattering and elegant on the wearer than shorter ribs or no ribs (like modern t-shirts and polos).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThese smarter aspects are inspired by tennis polos from before the 1950s, when they often were worn with tailored clothing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis makes our tennis polo a versatile piece – wear it to look more dressed up with casual clothing like jeans, but it would work just as well with a pair of light weight trousers, as a substitute to a shirt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAs it is a piece with its yarn spun in Italy, but knitted and washed in the Scottish Borders, it possesses the unique quality of being light, breathable and soft (characteristic of knitwear made with Italian yarn), but has a robustness that comes with having been washed in Scottish water, with all its unique minerals that strengthen the knitwear, making it last decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe perfect spring\/summer staple to wear season after season, as part of a casual outfit, or with tailored clothing, in place of a shirt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlease see size chart at the bottom of the page to determine which size is best for you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOther aspects:\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis style runs small.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe recommend that you take one size up from your usual size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMilano stitch collar to give it firmness compared to rest of the knit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLonger short sleeves for a more elegant look\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLonger ribbed cuffs and hems, in keeping with vintage inspirations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlim modern fit but has a small amount of natural stretch and moulds to body over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody of sweater tapers slightly from the chest down to the hem to give a more fitted look by minimising excess fabric often found around the waist of sweaters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmaller armhole without being overly restrictive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAs Worn\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModel wears size 40\/M.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHe measures: chest circumference 36\" (92cm); height 6\"2 (188cm).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInspiration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTo learn about the inspiration for this piece, view our History Journal here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnrivalled Quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe are confident in bringing you the world's finest knitwear because we only use the very best at every stage of manufacture:\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuality of fibre: 70% cashmere, 30% silk fibres of the highest quality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCashmere fibres are 15.7mm in diameter and 45 – 46mm in length; silk fibres are 11 micron class aa1 in diameter and 58 – 60mm in length, making these the world’s finest and longest cashmere and silk fibres, thus the most luxuriously soft, and robust in equal measure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuality of yarn: the world’s best cashmere silk yarn produced by world renowned spinners Cariaggi Lanificio from their famous mill in Cagli\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eItalian specialists in the production of light weight, fine cashmere and cashmere blend yarns since the 1950s.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe cashmere silk blend gives the knitted fabric an incomparable, cloud-like airy softness, quite unlike anything you would have previously felt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuality of knit: knitted, hand-finished and washed by fourth generation heritage knitwear specialists in Hawick, the Scottish Borders, a region whose expertise in crafting knitwear is without compare.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGarments are knitted tightly to minimise gaps and to ensure longevity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuality of finish: there is a high degree of hand-finishing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe sweater is \"fully-fashioned\", as signified by the faint-dotted lines along the sleeve-head of the jumper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis makes the garment more well fitted, much like a bespoke suit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndividual pieces of the sweater are “hand-linked” -
