The case for the Astons in merino wool

Astons · The Buttonless Polo

Nov 1, 2026·

There is a version of this top in every shop. What separates the Astons is the cloth: merino wool, dyed blue green, and finished without shortcuts.

Fit

Proportions are simple. Nothing exaggerated, nothing cropped, and the length lands where it should for both trainers and leather shoes.

How to wear it

It sits well under an unstructured jacket. Choose a tone that echoes blue green rather than contrasts with it.

Fabric

The cloth is merino wool. It keeps a little structure through the day, softens with washing and does not require ironing to look presentable.

Care

Iron inside out on a low setting. Direct heat on the surface can leave a shine that does not come out.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

In short: a merino wool top that does its job. Worth knowing if you are replacing something worn out and want three more years from it.
