The Signature Polo — Imperial Red

The shirt for the eighth hour

There is something only men who stand in front of rooms come to know: the best shirt is not the one that looks best when you put it on. It is the one still holding its shape in the four hundred and eightieth minute.

A collar that holds. Ribbed and constructed to keep its line, so that looking down at your notes and back up again costs you nothing.

A shoulder that does not drop. The shoulder seam is reinforced. When you raise an arm towards the screen, the shirt does not pull out of line.

Cloth that does not cling. The honeycomb face of petit piqué releases heat under high-output lighting, so the shirt is not against your back by the middle of the session.

Nobody else in the room. One hundred and sixty-eight pieces a year, each numbered on the inner label. You walk in without checking who else is wearing it.

Your name inside it. We embroider your name or your signature inside the collar, at no cost. After that, only one of these exists.

How we arrive at the price

S$688 is not a rounded-down version of something higher, and very little of it is cloth.

The garment — 100% cotton petit piqué, mother-of-pearl buttons, a ribbed collar, an embroidered mark. Good, honest, and not the reason for the figure.
One hundred and five minutes — forty-five with a specialist taking your measure, sixty more on how you are seen from a stage. That time is a person’s working day, and it is the largest single line in this price.
Your name — embroidered by hand inside the collar, on a numbered piece nobody else owns.
The Register, for life — an annual re-measure, an annual renewal of the garment, and first sight of each coming edition.

None of that figure is set aside for a future discount. That is why it never needs one.

The shirt is what you take home. It is not what you are paying for.
