This is a "where can I find" more than a "Should I buy" question, but this still seems like the best place for those questions.

Does anybody know where to find a knitted long sleeve 'polo' like this?
This one is pretty much perfect but there are no size 5/XLs otherwise I would have already bought it.
I figured it would be something I could find from Lanvin, Margiela, Tom Ford and the like but I didn't come across anything. There are plenty of solid colour, pique cotton options (sunspel etc) but I want something pretty louche.
Maybe I'm searching the wrong things though? I looked for LS Polo, Resort Shirt, Knitted shirt.... is there a more specific name for this type of thing?
Full button front, knitted, pref silk...
I would be wearing it a lot more slouchy than this is styled, probably never buttoned

Aaaand order cancelled due to inventory issues. :(

Gonna give the olive a shot.

Good for you....LOL
Next time you cop and ask questions later!
the olive might be the less sexy sister
but sometimes the beutiful is not faith ful
and the faithful is not beautiful.
you just might end up loving the olive more passionately

I managed to snag these as well (assuming the order isn't cancelled):

I'm not sure I like them as much with the toe cap (and it's possible the material isn't the normal canvas), but I may be more into them in person.

I think the classic Ramones model has the toe cap, which makes sense as it's expressly meant to be a homage to Chucks.

Yeah, I have the mainline Ramones (black leather, white toe cap), which I like for that makeup. For the drkshdw version, I may prefer the vegan makeup to the classic.

I’m interested in getting a navy double breasted jacket, for more casual wear, like grey linen pants or olive easy pants and an open necked shirt or even a Breton sweater. I kind of like this one by Lardini but just wondering if it’s too extra- 4x2, triple patch, peak lapels. Any suggestions?
