Vans Medford Checkerboard Polo Black
Black long-sleeve polo. A wide band with the Vans checker pattern runs across the chest, in gray on black, and that band continues across the back. The collar has a thin white piping along the edge, with a short button placket below it. The cuffs are ribbed.
Where does that checker pattern come from?
The checkerboard pattern has been on Vans shoes since the seventies, after skaters started drawing it on their slip-ons themselves. Vans adopted it and it became the brand's signature. On this polo it is blown up into a single band across your chest.
Polo or rugby shirt?
The shape sits between the two. A regular polo has short sleeves and a thin fabric, a rugby shirt is thick and heavy. This Medford has the long sleeves and the wide band of a rugby shirt, but in regular cotton polo fabric. That means you can wear it for most of the year.
How do you wear it?
Untucked over pants, with the collar down. Under a jacket it works as a first layer in spring and fall. If you want the band to really stand out, choose pants without a print: the pattern already demands attention on its own.
Keeping the black deep
Wash the polo inside out at 30°C, together with other dark laundry. Then hang it on a hanger to dry, so the collar stays upright and the band doesn't pull crooked. Vans lists the fit as regular. We still have sizes M and L in stock.
We recommend this polo as a base layer under a jacket: the long sleeves and the collar make it just a bit dressier than a T-shirt. Come try it on if you’re unsure between M and L.
Looking for something between a T-shirt and a dress shirt? This polo sits right in between.
Like wearing a layer under your jacket in the in-between seasons? The long sleeves help with that.
Recognize the Vans check pattern from their shoes? Here it runs across your chest.
Looking for a smart polo for the office? The check pattern is large and eye-catching; a plain polo is a better fit there.
