The Hydra is a short-sleeve knit polo built on an open-weave stitch, its black ground crossed by bands of pale grey running across the chest and back. Look closely and you'll see the collar sits open at the throat in a split V, with no buttons or placket to interrupt the line. It belongs on a warm evening out, worn open at a terrace bar or under a linen jacket for dinner somewhere with good light.

  • Airy Open-Knit Feel: the loose stitch lets air move through the fabric and keeps the polo from clinging in the heat.
  • Split V-Neck Collar: a ribbed, structured collar opens without buttons, holding its shape rather than curling through the day.
  • Styling: wear it loose with tailored trousers and loafers for dinner, or with white linen trousers for a daytime terrace lunch.
  • Fit and Sizing: the Hydra runs true to Altheny's own sizing; if you sit between two sizes, take the larger for a more relaxed drape through the body.
  • Care: the open-knit construction is delicate by design, so hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry to keep the stripe pattern and stitch true.
