Ben Merino

Somewhere between Carmel and Big Sur, with the top down and the tide pulling in - you’ll find Ben. A long-sleeve polo with a relaxed silhouette, made for days that start with avocado toast and end with a bottle of chilled Grenache.

Knitted in Italy from 100% ZQ-certified merino jersey - light, breathable, and sustainably sourced - it drapes like a west coast sunset. The two-piece collar adds structure without stiffness; a French placket with imitation mother-of-pearl buttons lends a whiff of old-school charm.

The straight hem keeps it nonchalant, and narrow twin-needle stitching says: yes, someone paid attention. Made in Portugal by people who care about the details.
Throw it on for breakfast in Santa Barbara, a gallery opening in Venice, or just to look unreasonably good buying peaches at the farmer’s market.

Feel Summer.
