The epitome of style and good taste - our camel hair polos feature all the correct appointments. The polo coat originally started out as a simple camel hair, blanket-like wrap coat - something athletes threw over their shoulders like a bathrobe while waiting to resume play. As such, it was initially called a wait coat. In the 1920s, when English polo players were first invited to matches on Long Island, the swagger of these coats didn't go unnoticed, and they were soon seen on Eastern-establishment campuses. By 1930, polo coats outnumbered raccoon at the Yale-Princeton football game--a decided stamp of approval.100% Pure Camelhair. Made in USA or Canada.
