Sitip at Milano Unica exhibits on the stand an innovation for the contemporary man: the man’s polo-shirt made with the TEE-TIME fabric, originally created for golf shirts and now relaunched for urbanwear, to perfectly interpret the concept of transversality and multifunctionality that inspires the Innovation section.

Protection from sun’s rays is guaranteed on both fabrics by the ECLIPSE Sun Protection technology, while the soft and comfortable touch on the skin is ensured by the MICROSENSE Soft Performance technology.
