The Making of the Riviera Polo Shirt Our relationship with mesh fabrics began in 1860 in Nottingham, the heart of the lace-making industry. Nearly a century later, Peter Hill revived that tradition, adjusting our warp knitting machines to create a lightweight cotton mesh—cooler and more breathable than traditional piqué. The result was Q75: the signature fabric behind the Riviera Polo Shirt. Originally made for the heat of the French Riviera, later tailored for Bond, it remains a timeless summer essential. #sunspel #rivierapolo #poloshirt #Q75
