It seems in order to get a real Polo style shirt anymore you may need to time warp back to the 1980's


What I am talking about in paticular is how the shirts differ from back then to today.

No more shirt tails. Cotton preshrunk.

The shirt tail used to cover almost a persons entire behind. Todays shirt tail you have to struggle to make it stay inside your pants.

For untucked polo's I'm personally a fan of ben sherman, they seem to fit my body shape well.
For tucked polos, have you had a look at ralph lauren polos? Sure the big pony stuff is pretty ridiculous & the standard cut is a bit baggy, but the "custom fit" ones usually look okay & they've got decent length & a long rear tail.

fashion changes & styles adapt. Try and hunt down some that are designed to be tucked.
