Reviews & Tips
1. Pique polo construction at 200g/m2 provides good body and shape retention for a quality polo feel
2. Rib collar and cuffs give it a structured finish that holds up well over repeated washing
3. Alpinestars DNA piecing adds a brand-specific design detail that distinguishes it from a generic polo
1. At £59 it’s at the premium end of the polo price range for a lifestyle garment
2. 60/40 cotton-polyester blend is practical but less luxurious than 100% cotton alternatives
3. Limited riding-specific functionality as a purely casual/lifestyle product
The Capital Polo T-Shirt is a classic two-button pique polo with Alpinestars DNA piecing running through its construction. Built from 60% cotton and 40% polyester at 200g per square metre, it strikes a practical balance between breathability and shape retention. Rib collar and cuffs give it a clean, structured finish that holds up well over repeated washing, and a front chest HD logo keeps the Alpinestars branding visible without dominating the garment. Internal main label and external label branding complete the spec.
The Capital Polo is aimed at riders and motorsport enthusiasts who want a quality branded polo for smart-casual occasions — the kind of thing that works at a track day briefing as well as it does at the weekend. At £59, it’s a premium-ish price for a polo, but the pique construction and rib collar detailing reflect that.
