Product Overview
The open V-neck polo (or Johnny Collar) is a staple of Italian resort wear and contemporary "Quiet Luxury." By eliminating the traditional button placket, it creates a clean, streamlined neckline that beautifully frames the face and chest. Executed in our ultra-light 16-gauge pure cotton, this piece is the ultimate high-margin summer essential for premium menswear boutiques, resort collections, and DTC brands.

The Johnny Collar Aesthetic
A buttonless V-neck polo requires perfect structural design to look intentional and luxurious, rather than just "missing buttons."
Engineered V-Depth: We precisely calibrate the depth and angle of the V-neck in your tech pack so it sits perfectly on the chest without sagging or falling too open.
Collar Stand: Using advanced linking techniques, we ensure the back of the collar has enough structure to stand up elegantly under a blazer, maintaining a sharp, sophisticated profile.
Mastering 16GG Ultra-Fine Cotton
Producing a 16GG knit from 3/101NM pure cotton is a testament to our manufacturing excellence:
Silky Smoothness: The combination of this ultra-fine yarn and the tight 16-gauge knit creates a fabric surface that is remarkably smooth and cool to the touch, entirely eliminating the stiffness of ordinary cotton.
Zero Bulk: It provides the opacity needed for a standalone shirt, yet is thin enough to be tucked perfectly into tailored trousers without adding any waist bulk.
Shape Retention: Despite its feather-light weight, our precise tension control ensures the hem and sleeves bounce back and retain their crisp shape after washing.
Frequently Asked Questions (OEM/B2B FAQ)
Q1: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for this V-neck polo?
A: Our standard MOQ is 100 pieces per style/color. We welcome orders from emerging menswear labels launching capsule summer collections.
Q2: Can we add a contrasting color trim to the collar and cuffs?
A: Yes. Adding a subtle contrast tipping (color-blocking) to the edge of the Johnny collar and sleeve cuffs is a highly requested customization that we execute flawlessly.

A: Sample production utilizing our stock fine cotton colors typically takes just 7-10 days once your collar depth measurements and tech pack are confirmed.
