well they were probably all made separately, so there could be some variance in the lengths due to some improper measuring.

to be honest, i am not surprised. I've seen PRL stuff everywhere from their own brick and mortar stores to TJ maxx, the same plain polo can cost $60 or $15.00. I actually think the diffusion lines: RRL, Rugby, etc would have more consistent sizing. But I really don't buy that much ralph lauren stuff to be certain.

What do you call a diffusion line when it's nicer than the stuff from its parent brand's main line?

You aren't supposed to give a **** about the actual product as long as it's got the logo on it.

Get with the program.

Same problem, two were pretty much the same, one was smaller and looser.

I have two custom fit polos and one is smaller than the other, though they're the same tagged size.

I'm kind of over them. I liked the custom fit to begin with as it was perfect for my build, but due to the sizing inconsistency and the pretentios pony I'm a bit reluctant to keep wearing them.
