Needles has never been shy of paying homage to their sportswear inspirations. which sometimes are expressed as straightforward as reproducing classic silhouettes such as the polo shirt.

It doesn't get any more traditional than white cotton pique – the quintessential material for such a garment. Of course. Needles has likely studied the silhouette and proportions between different eras of the polo shirt to optimise the perfect parameters. from collar and cuff ribbing to button placement. And. like many polo shirt makers. Needles has put their instantly recognisable papillon butterfly logo embroidery onto the left chest for all to see.
