The Riviera Polo Shirt was created for Daniel Craig as James Bond in Casino Royal. Lindsey Hemming asked Sunspel to reconfigure their classic shirt to complement Daniel Craig’s physique and allow him to be the man of action as 007.
The fit of the shirt as flattering without being overly slim, the shape comes in at the waist and the armholes are fitted.
To celebrate 50 years of Bond, Sunspel have released the Riviera Polo Shirt in a new Sky colour way. Wear with a pair of dark jeans and driving shoes or chinos and a shawl neck cardigan for a smart casual look.
The materials used in the Riviera Polo Shirt are 100% Egyptian long-staple cotton woven in a unique vintage fabric called Q75 and is literally what makes this shirt what it is. Designed by Peter Hill, grandson of the company’s founder. The weave is very open and lightweight so suited for warm weather. Interestingly the fabric is knit on lace machines and is more breathable than traditional cotton piqué and has a loverly texture.
