Polo Necks That Stay Up

[chrissa1]

Can anyone tell me where I can buy polo neck jumpers that actually stay up tightly, (not too tightly obviously) around your neck. Not chunky ones, but able to be worn underneath something. TIA.

I used to have this problem when I was skinny ie 40 years ago. I found the only solution was to carefully take it the amount on the neck and sew a new seam. I'll do it for you if you pop round.

Lol Mosaic. I can remember putting elastic bands round them in the 60''s but just thought things might have moved on in the fashion/knitting world since then.

Tell you what, I tried one on in Next a while back and it damn near throttled me - so maybe it's a brand thing?

Cheers for that. I'll have a look.

You can actually buy separate polo collars ( with a bit of a bib ) which fit under a jumper, without you having to wear 2 jumpers.
These can be bought from "Patra Silks"
I used to buy them for my father, who felt the cold in his old age.

Thanks atalanta.
