Please can anyone suggest any high end Italian Polo shirt brands? There was a brand I saw a few years ago that I wanted to try, for the life of me I can't remember. I imagine they will be in similar vein to Luca Faloni, Fedeli, or Brunello Cucinelli.

Essentially an Italian John Smedley or Sunspel.

Possibly Falconeri? Is Boggi too basic?

Almost all of the high end Italian labels, including those best known for tailored clothing, will have a casual line that will include polo shirts.

So I went for a Fedeli, John Smedley and a Sunspel.

If you're stuck for brands, custom made polos are also an avenue.

I haven't looked at your pricing, but another official vendors pricing is too high at $165.00 whilst Spier and Mackay or Psycho Bunny are a quarter to half that and fit just fine.
Our polo's are reasonably priced considering their high quality and custom fit. You may have noticed a current promotion we're running up until the 3rd of April. It's a good time to take advantage and experience the Italian Polo.

I like Sunspel polo shirt model called Riviera as worn by James Bond, played by actor Daniel Craig, in movie Casino Royale. I have several and they are well made, comfortable when hot outside and looks great. I found mine gently worn on eBay.

I ordered another four from Sunspel including the Riviera in their Easter promotion.

How do high end Italian (Brunello, Loro Piana) polo shirts compare to high end English (Sunspel Sea Island) polo shirts in terms of fabric and construction? Are Italian polo shirts in a higher tier?
