Men's Light Denim Merino Wool Knit Polo — Fine-Gauge Long Sleeve Sweater | 98 Degree North

Light denim blue — the fresh, less corporate alternative to navy that works just as hard.

This Merino Wool Knit Polo in Light Denim is the piece most men's wardrobes are missing. It's cut like a classic polo — a soft knit collar, a two-button placket, a clean body — but it's knit from a fine-gauge merino wool blend, so it drapes beautifully, sits lightly on the body, and doesn't feel bulky like a traditional sweater. Full-length long sleeves with neat ribbed cuffs and a tidy ribbed hem give it the finished, considered look that separates a real knit polo from a stretched-out jumper.

Merino wool is the quiet magic. It's naturally temperature-regulating — breathable enough for an AC office in June, warm enough for a cool October evening in Delhi — and the fibre is naturally soft, smooth, and non-itchy against the skin. It also resists odour better than cotton or synthetic knits, so it stays fresh through longer wears between washes. The small embroidered 98° North logo sits on the left chest in tonal light denim — present but not loud, a quiet quality marker rather than a logo flex.

The regular fit skims cleanly through the chest and shoulders without going baggy at the waist. Light denim is the blue most men's wardrobes don't have but should. Fresher than navy, more grown-up than sky blue, with just enough muted depth to work in a meeting and just enough brightness to feel modern on a Saturday. Wear it with white jeans and loafers for fresh smart-casual, grey trousers for the office, or beige chinos for an easy weekend. From workdays in Bangalore to brunches in Delhi, this is the piece that photographs beautifully and quietly stands out.

Built for men who want one really well-made knit polo that works through more months of the year than cotton can.
