Sandbanks Polo Shirts Buyer's Guide
1 | Overview
Sandbanks polo shirts sit at the premium end of British coastal menswear. The brand — co-founded by Jamie Redknapp — built its identity around recycled-material construction (recycled polyester from ocean-bound plastic bottles, blended with organic cotton or modal). The polo range is where that ethos meets the most-worn piece in a smart-casual wardrobe. Tyson Fury has worn the range publicly through the brand's campaign cycles.
OD's Designer Clothing is an authorised UK stockist of Sandbanks since 1992, with the full polo range at our 44 Barrow Street, St Helens store and online — every piece checked in-house by Mike and Jo.
Shop by style and finish: Sandbanks knitted polo shirts, textured polo shirts, full-button polo shirts, gradient rib polos and tipped-badge piqué polos — across black, navy, emerald green, dusty blue, mint, charcoal and oat, with seasonal accent colours added each SS and AW. Mens range S to XXL; the cut runs athletic through chest and shoulder.
This guide explains the silhouettes (knitted button-through, textured full-button, gradient rib), the fabrics, and how the cuts fit. For full brand heritage and the recycled-plastic story, read the parent Sandbanks brand guide.
2 | The Sandbanks Polo Range — Knitted, Textured, Full-Button
Knitted 3-Button
The casual polo. Lighter-weight fine-gauge knit, sits closer to a regular fit. Three buttons at the placket, knitted collar with subtle ribbing. Coastal palette: oat, stone, dusty blue, navy. Works under a casual jacket or solo with shorts.
Textured Full-Button
The dressier polo. Textured jacquard knit with a full button-through placket from collar to mid-chest. Sits closer to a shirt than a polo in formality. Stone, navy and dusty blue across the seasonal range.
Gradient Rib
The statement piece. Tonal gradient rib knit with subtle colour transition top-to-bottom. Stand-out detail without loud branding — the Sandbanks design language at its cleanest.
Long-Sleeve Variants
Selected polos ship in long-sleeve cuts for shoulder-season wear. Same fabric and silhouette family as the short-sleeve range; ideal for layering under casual jackets or as a single-piece smart-casual look.
3 | What We Stock
The Sandbanks polo range at OD's covers the full current-season buy. Stock breadth rotates with the SS and AW seasons.
Knitted & Textured Construction
Cotton-modal-recycled-polyester blends across the range. The recycled polyester is sourced from ocean-bound plastic bottles — central to the Sandbanks brand ethos. Hand-feel is closer to fine-knit wool than standard cotton pique.
Colour Palette
Coastal: oat, stone, navy, dusty blue, army, charcoal. Restrained palette by design — pieces work across multiple outfits and seasons. No high-contrast logo placements.
Sizing Range
S to XXL across the current range. Sandbanks polos run true to standard UK chest sizing; the knit gives a touch of stretch through the body without losing shape.
4 | Fit & Care
Sandbanks polos run true to standard UK chest sizing. The knitted construction gives a forgiving wear with retained shape. If between sizes, size up — the knit handles a touch of looseness better than tightness.
How to measure
- Chest: Tape around the fullest part, under the arms. Stand relaxed.
- Body length: From the base of the neck down the spine to where the hem should sit.
- Shoulder: Across the back from one shoulder point to the other.
Picking the right Sandbanks polo
- Knitted 3-button = casual smart-casual workhorse
- Textured full-button = dressier, replaces a shirt in casual settings
- Gradient rib = statement piece for distinct outfits

Is Sandbanks a luxury brand?
Sandbanks sits in the premium-designer tier — above mid-market British casualwear, alongside brands like Sweaty Betty and UBR. The pricing reflects the recycled-material construction (ocean-bound plastic bottles spun into polyester yarn) plus considered design from Jamie Redknapp's creative team.
Who owns Sandbanks Clothing Brand?
Sandbanks was co-founded by footballer Jamie Redknapp. The brand is privately held and remains independent (not part of a fashion conglomerate). The recycled-material ethos drives the design language across polos, t-shirts, jackets and accessories.
What celebrities wear Sandbanks?
Sandbanks attracts press around Jamie Redknapp's personal styling and the brand's celebrity endorsement network — sports presenters, ex-Premier-League footballers and lifestyle figures appear in seasonal campaigns. The polos and jackets are the most photographed pieces.
Are Sandbanks polos true to size?
Yes — Sandbanks polos run true to standard UK chest sizing. The fine-gauge knit gives a touch of stretch through the body without losing shape. If between sizes, size up — the knit handles a touch of looseness better than tightness.
Are Sandbanks polos made from recycled material?
