MYAR UPCYCLING POLO - 1990'S

PRESENT

Traditional vintage polo shirt with application of three logos symbol of MYAR's commitment to the sustainability of its production.: two by silkscreen printing on the chest, the third as a patch to cover the original logo.

PAST

The polo shirt is a cotton shirt characterized by a collar similar to that of shirts, which can also be raised, and two or three buttons at the neck. It can also have a breast pocket. Its origin is uncertain, but it is linked to the sport of the same name, the polo. The American John E. Brooks, being in England for work, noticed the polo shirts and the detail of the neck and applied it to his shirts called button-down. The Brook Brothers brand launched in 1896 a shirt model very similar to the current polo shirt, but with long sleeves, which had the name of polo shirt.

The invention of the polo shirt as we know it today is attributed, however, to a tennis player, Jean René Lacoste, who in 1926 wore a shirt similar to the Brook Brothers polo-shirt, but with short sleeves. Later other designers distinguished themselves for their polo shirts, especially Ralph Lauren, who created an entire collection called his own polo shirt.

MYAR commitment is to bring back to life past used military garments that have been stocked for long time in darkened warehouse, bringing back the light in the present time, for a second life in a civil environment. 

The up-cycling process involving MYAR is not only an aesthetic intervention but also a process of historical knowledge

On each garment is applied a QR code that, once scanned, will tell the historical origin of the piece and the type of workmanship that has been made.

This process of customization is also witnessed by a small white cloth sachet containing scraps of fabrics: a part of the past of this garment, which has been modified from the original to be worn today for the future coming.

Our packaging bag is made of 97% vegetable fibre (beetroot or sugar cane). The only reason this does not reach 100% is because it is manufactured using machines that usually process plastic which may leave small traces behind. The raw material is completely petrol-free and fossil substance-free. We ask you to always be careful not to dispose of it in the environment, but for safety we have added an additive that makes it completely biodegradable within 48 months. 

MYAR is committed every day to selecting products that do not pollute the planet. 

MYAR a modern viwe of the past
