The default linen polo: a mid-weight 100% linen knit with a self-collar that stands on its own and a hem that sits straight untucked. Monture's own polo takes a different route — the Signature Blend Polo is engineered in 65% cotton, 30% Lyocell (TENCEL™) and 5% silk, a smoother, low-crease knit for men who like the relaxed collar but not linen's creases.
What makes a linen polo work
A polo lives between a shirt and a tee, so judge it on four points.
Four checks
Knit weight
Mid-weight holds its collar; thin knits flop.
Collar
A self-collar that stands without stiffening.
Fit
Room through the chest, no pull at the placket.
Hem
A straight hem for untucked wear.
Mid-weight knits hold a collar through the day; paper-thin ones flop by lunch. Pure linen breathes best in dry heat and creases openly. A cotton–Lyocell–silk knit trades some airflow for a smoother surface that resists creasing — the material of Monture page lists every fabric's composition.
Where the Signature Blend Polo sits
Cotton gives the knit structure and durability. Lyocell (TENCEL™) regulates moisture and keeps the surface fluid. Silk lifts the hand feel with softness and a quiet sheen. The result is a polo that reads refined at a lunch table and stays composed through a long day — the honest alternative when a pure linen polo's creases do not suit the occasion. If maximum airflow matters more than polish, a linen shirt still leads.

Frequently asked questions
Is a linen polo cooler than a cotton polo?
In dry heat, pure linen breathes the most. A cotton–Lyocell–silk knit trades some airflow for a smoother, lower-crease surface.
Does the Signature Blend Polo crease like pure linen?
No. The cotton–Lyocell–silk knit creases far less than pure linen. Follow the care label.
Which polo size should I order?
Chest and length decide the fit — check the men's polo size guide.
One last thing
Try the polo untucked first — that is where it earns its keep. Browse men's polos or see how the same fibre logic plays out in Tencel shirts for men.
