I answered that in post #4.
I have a couple of both the RL and the Lacoste.
I feel the Lacoste ones are made of a more see through, "open" weave fabric..I find them lighter as well.
I've had RL's stretch at least a full size, if not more after a few wearings.
Also have 2 Sunspel which are very nice..a bit old fashioned and 3 Paul Smith multicolor zebra polos and I know I'm going to get told off, but the Gap athletic polo I have, has fared better than all of the above!
The pima and mercerized cotton ones, for example are prone to stretching.
Which brands would fall under this category?
Lacoste? RL? Tommy?
The trick to the RL polos is to wash them after each day-long wear. Wash them with the collars up and hang them to dry taking note that the shoulder of the shirt should align with the shoulder of the hanger. I have some shirts that are 20+ years old and still look great.
Exactly what I do! I wash on gentle cycle with collars up, put in the dryer on air dry for 30 minutes and hang on a plastic suit hanger with wide shoulders. Then fold at put away.
The Brooks Brothers Polos are garbage, like a majority of their products recently.
I have had BB polos for years and I'm bored of them so I wish they would wear out but hey don't. I'm not sure what you are talking about. The Black Fleece ones are especially nice.
That's not something brand related, Pima/Mercurized cotton is nearly always prone to stretching.
