The Extra Fine Merino Sport Shirts are made using Zegna Baruffa’s merino, the world's finest and renowned for its temperature regulating properties. This means our sport shirt naturally cools during warmer months when worn on its own, but warms up the body during transitional or colder months. See how we style it here.
Our merino father’s polo is inspired by the made in Scotland polo shirt that Colhay's founder got passed down to him by his father. His father bought it with his first pay check back in the 1970s - back then, buying a piece of knitwear made in Scotland was a mark of adulthood; a sign that you have made enough to afford to invest in a high quality piece of clothing. After more than 40 years, it was still in immaculate condition. This piece was one of the many items that inspired the Colhay’s project. As a firm all year favourite, we have now made this piece available for preorder. Please see the collection here. Or see below for more...
In 1934, Fred Perry, a working class man, won his first Wimbledon title despite the sport being dominated by the English upper class and the odds were against him. He was famous for his ferocious forehand and among many other of his legacies, also left a slightly unusual one in the world of apparel.

Exquisite Material Our cashmere silk tennis polo is inspired by vintage pre-1950s tennis tops, with their signature longer short sleeves and larger spread collars. They would have been knitted too, just like ours is, except ours is crafted using the world’s finest, luxurious cashmere silk yarn from Italian fine yarn experts Cariaggi Lanificio, giving the piece an unimaginably soft, “melt in your hand” texture, and a light, airy and relaxed feel when worn. With the mix of silk within...

Made in Scotland using a luxuriously soft merino yarn Cashwool from Zegna Baruffa, the world’s most premium merino wool, it is a shirt that will quickly become a spring/summer staple. Olive is a great colour to have in your wardrobe. That’s because if you are anything like us, we tend to have quite a lot of other items of clothing (trousers and jackets) in navy and grey. Therefore, to have a top in olive makes it easy to combine with your other items in...
