Vardhan Stripe Heritage Polo — Navy Gold

Engineered for those who understand that true luxury lives in the details.

1. Fabric Composition

95% GIZA 87 / GIZA 92 Egyptian Cotton | 5% Lycra® Elastane

We source exclusively from the world's most coveted cotton — GIZA Egyptian long-staple fiber, renowned for its exceptional fineness and natural silk-like surface. The addition of 5% Lycra® elastane delivers a subtle, responsive stretch that moves with your body while maintaining a flawless silhouette throughout the day.

Exceptionally long staple fibers create a silky, smooth surface
Superior breathability and moisture absorption for all-day comfort
Natural luster — refined without being shiny
Elastane provides subtle stretch and excellent shape retention

2. Knit Structure

Double Mercerized Premium Piqué Knit

The fabric undergoes a double mercerization process — a treatment that opens the cotton fibers to their fullest, resulting in deeper color absorption, a silkier hand feel, and a surface that resists pilling over time.

Luxurious hand feel with a crisp, structured appearance
Stays elegant and polished throughout the day
Improved color depth and long-term durability
Significantly reduced pilling over repeated wear and wash

3. Weight

220–230 GSM

Carefully calibrated to strike the perfect balance between substance and comfort — heavy enough to drape with authority, light enough to breathe in warm climates.

4. Fabric Finishing

✔ Bio Wash
✔ Silicone Softener Finish
✔ Enzyme Wash
✔ Anti-Pilling Finish
✔ Compact Pre-Shrink Treatment

5. Collar & Cuffs

High-Density Rib Knit with Elastane — Double-Layer Construction

Contrast tipping is woven directly into the knit — never printed — ensuring the signature navy, cream and gold stripe remains sharp and defined even after repeated laundering. The double-layer construction prevents curling and maintains the structured polo silhouette.

6. Logo & Embroidery

High-Density Embroidery — Satin Stitch Finish

The Vardhan peacock emblem is rendered in fine rayon thread using a satin stitch technique, with an approximate stitch count of 18,000–25,000 stitches. Precisely positioned on the left chest — subtle, unmistakable, and a mark of true craftsmanship.

7. Buttons

Genuine Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Each polo is finished with authentic mother-of-pearl buttons — sourced from natural shell, they carry a warm golden-ivory tone with a soft, organic iridescence that catches light beautifully against the deep navy fabric.

8. Construction Details

Single-needle stitching on all visible seams
Reinforced shoulder seams for structural integrity
Taped neck seam for comfort and durability
Side vents with bar tacks for ease of movement
Precision-aligned placket — perfectly straight, every time
Clean interior finishing — as refined inside as out

9. Fit

Modern Tailored Fit

Structured shoulders, a comfortable chest, a slight waist taper, and sleeves ending at the mid-bicep. The length is calibrated to stay neatly tucked during movement — ideal for boardrooms, golf courses, and every occasion in between.
