The Aquascutum Club Check Polo Shirt is the Ultimate Summer Rig Out
The classic Club Check polo shirt from Aquascutum now arrives back at its spiritual home just in time for the summer months in a selection of seasonal colourways.
We're absolutely loving this whole Aquascutum revival at the moment. The club check nostalgia of the mid noughties that takes us back to a packed out boozer of vocal Stoke fans clad in classic check caps or that iconic shot of Mike Skinner from the Streets hanging off a washing line. As much as Aquascutum was, and always will be, a classic 80s 'casual' brand, it was the noughties revival courtesy of films like Nick Love's The Football Factory that gave the British heritage label the cult status it still holds today. The era saw a huge revival of casual designer brands from the 1980s such as C.P. Company, Stone Island, Lacoste, Burberry & Aquascutum as a new era of 'casual connoisseurs' switched up their style for adidas Stan Smiths, technical jackets & Aquascutum polo shirts. As with anything Aquascutum it will always be about the classic check whether it's under a turned up collar, on the elbows of knitwear or in this case on the collar of a classic polo shirt. It's the classic polo that now arrives back at its spiritual home in that iconic club check courtesy of the British heritage brand, Aquascutum.

Founded back in 1851 by John Emary on London's prestigious Regent Street, it was Aquascutum that introduced the first waterproof wool fabric for outerwear. Aquascutum might sound like some sort of fancy Victorian name but it's actually the Latin for 'watershield'. Long before the days of GORE-TEX & garment technology from the 1980s from the likes of Massimo Osti, Aquascutum were already setting the bar for fabric innovation 130 years earlier. There's probably only really a handful of brands that can claim the same cult status as Aquascutum and just like the fellow British brand Burberry had their iconic 'Nova' check, for Aquascutum it was all about the Club check. Featuring (sometimes) discreetly behind collars & linings, you just can't beat the celebrated check from Aquascutum.
