THE POLO THAT OUTLIVES TRENDS
POLOCOTON makes only one thing: the perfect cotton polo. Long-staple Pima, garment-dyed, enzyme-washed, cut boxy with a camp collar that never curls. Worn by architects, DJs, chefs and dads who know.
01 — ABOUT
NOT FAST FASHION.
PERMANENT FASHION.
Born in a Porto laundry, raised on tennis courts.
POLOCOTON started in 2011 when two brothers inherited their grandfather's knitwear factory. They scrapped 87 styles and kept one: a polo cut from long-staple Peruvian Pima cotton, knitted tight at 220 GSM so it drapes like a tee but holds like a jacket. No logos shouting. Just a tiny embroidered cotton flower — our promise that what touches your skin is pure.
Today we produce in small batches of 300 pieces per color. Each polo is dyed as a finished garment, washed with enzymes, checked by hand, and rested 24h before shipping. That's why it doesn't shrink, doesn't pill, doesn't twist.
Extra-long 38mm fibres, combed & ring-spun.
2x heavier than high-street polos.
Corozo & mother-of-pearl, cotton thread.
Send it back, we fix collars free.
Why piqué? Why heavy?
Light polos cling, shine and die after 10 washes. Our micro-piqué breathes, hides sweat, resists stretch. Put it on: structured shoulder, boxy body, ribbed collar with hidden stays.
Worn 300 days a year
Office with loafers. Beach with swim shorts. Wedding under a blazer. One polo, 14 garment-dyed shades from Ecru to Espresso, Black Olive to Clay. Designed to fade beautifully — never ugly.

We control everything: farm co-op in Piura, spinning in Guimarães, knitting, dyeing and sewing in Porto. No middlemen, no mystery.
04 — SUSTAINABILITY
COTTON WITHOUT GUILT.
Less water, more wear
One POLOCOTON = 1,200L water vs 2,700L industry average. Rain-fed farms, closed-loop dye water, solar factory. But our greenest trick? You keep it 5 years, not 5 months. Cost-per-wear: €0.08.
Repair, re-dye, re-love
Loose collar? Send it. We re-knit collars, replace buttons, even re-dye faded black to espresso for €15. 4,200 polos repaired last year. Zero to landfill from our studio.
Certified organic line.
Compostable bag + cotton box.
