The Coldipra polo shirt

Since its creation in Paris more than 21 years ago, I work every day to design luxurious pieces by searching for the most beautiful materials and enhancing them with impeccable tailoring . I remain very attached to high-quality European manufacturing , a guarantee of its success. All our products are made in an artisanal way , in a workshop on a human scale , formerly a partner of the greatest houses, by passionate workers in search of perfection . Each seamstress perpetuates a mastery of technique and rigor characteristic of the French way .

Each product is made in a limited series , which allows you to treat yourself while being sure not to see your item worn by someone else. I want to breathe a touch of freshness and originality into each of my products through subtle and delicate details . Each item is thus designed with the concern of bringing you that little extra that makes the difference and gives our products this incomparable charm .

Coldira polo shirt for men by Howard's Paris

Orange jersey polo shirt

Jersey is a fine knitted fabric originally made of wool. Now made of cotton , this knit takes its name from the Channel Island of Jersey . Since medieval times, the island of Jersey has been world-renowned for the manufacture and export of its famous knitwear . Particularly stretchy and lightweight , with a flat side and a stacked side, I made a polo shirt with this beautiful jersey fabric.

The polo shirt was invented in India in the state of Manipur where, at the time, the soldiers of the British army were stationed. While visiting this country in the 1850s , the British soldiers saw Indian polo players wearing a very specific garment for this game: a long-sleeved cotton shirt with buttons on the collar points and, above all, a short throat .

Italian collar polo shirt

A timeless and elegant Italian collar

This is the most requested collar. Timeless and elegant , the Italian collar is characterized by its flared opening . This collar is ideal for everyday use .

Versatile , it can be worn with or without a tie and adapts to any type of face . If you are looking for a tie knot idea, we recommend a simple knot or a double Windsor .

Likewise, the Italian collar is perfectly suited to wearing a bow tie .

Coldira model polo shirt for men

Mother of Pearl buttons, sewn on shank

I sewed 7 buttons on it, in Australian mother-of-pearl , Mother of Pearl . The first button on the throat is sewn 6.5 cm from the second button, allowing the collar to fall perfectly . The last button was sewn horizontally to avoid the formation of a small fold above the belt. Hand-sewn in Zampa di Gallina (crow's feet sewing), the buttons are mounted on a "foot" making buttoning the shirt easier .

The added cut with side slits

The cut is fitted but it won't stick to your body. I made it so that you can wear it outside the pants . It is therefore long enough that you can take it out when you are moving or sitting . On this shirt, I did not sew reinforcement swallows but side slits .
