Most styles are cotton tops, says Pencarrie: good quality tees and polos from fashion aware brands such as Jerzees Colours, skinnifitmen and Wombat. Pigment dyed rugby shirts from Front Row, in extra heavyweight 300gsm ringspun cotton, also fit the category.

Away from its vintage collection, PenCarrie highlights another menswear newcomer that is fast becoming a best-seller: Kariban’s KB226 Baseball Pique Polo Shirt. This comes in six interesting triple colourways (eg. chocolate body with taupe piping and black sleeves).

Among the vintage-look tops ideal for the current summer-into-autumn season PenCarrie pinpoints two styles from Jerzees Colours, both pigment dyed for a faded, vintage effect. The 121M Vintage Pique Polo Shirt comes in four shades of vintage denim, gold, grey or red, while the 120M Vintage T-Shirt is available in an extra two colours: vintage green and vintage orange.

More new vintage-look styles are provided by skinnifitmen and Wombat. Skinnifitmen’s SF200 Vintage T-Shirt has a relaxed fit and is enzyme washed for softness as well as for a colour faded finish.Wombat offers a number of styles including the WB100 Tomki Tee and WB122 Larrikin Top. Pigment dyed and then vintage washed, the WB100 Tomki Tee has a rib neck and cover stitched hems and seams. Wombat’s WB122 Larrikin Top, a vintage washed polo type design, also has surf fashion appeal. Distinctive because of its raw edge placket and collar, it comes in a wide stripe fabric in just one colourway – mocha.

When selling tops, valuable add-on sales come in the form of skinnifitmen’s new SF65 Cargo Trousers. These are made from 100% cotton twill and have a relaxed, comfy fit. Details include the cargo leg pockets and drawstring hems. They are available in either black or sand.
