In looking around I think that Ralph Lauren has the best colors. Too bad I can't stand Ralph Lauren.

Definitely a fan of the shrunken/micro collar look, I like the Raf x polo's for this season.

Hey Jet, have you played around with these at South Willard yet? What's your opinion? I've heard so-so things about Raf x quality blah blah blah. Opening Ceremony also has a nice one for this season though I think it's a little over-priced right now.

Andrew haven't done my rounds for awhile since I'm in the npc indefinitely but if they're anything like previous raf polos the material is decent (better than anything you'll find in a mall) and they're made well for a polo but the cuts are super tiny on them. If you end up ordering make sure you get measurements and I'm fairly confident all pique will shrink a tad even if you wash cold and hang dry. I've got a 20 off revolve coupon if you want pm me (don't nobody else pm ******).

Thanks, guys. I had never thought that as an adult, I'd be buying a ******* kids shirt in order to have it fit properly. Something is seriously wrong with clothes sizing in this country.

I'm 5'8" and about 150-ish lbs. for reference.

Original Penguin Heritage Fit, mostly for the fit, but their pique polos are insanely soft. I'm ambivalent on the logo.

I recently ordered some Fred Perry MIE and MIJ to figure out the fit -- if they work out, then I can recommend them as well.

Now for a recommendation out of left field: Nau. Their cotton polo shirts this season are incredibly comfortable, and super light. They seem like they'll be great for 90+ days. I hope to pick up a few closer to summer.

For the shorter/slimmer guys in here: Man of Moods, sold by Atsui. The fit is simply fantastic, a short hem (hitting right at/under the belt - I'm 5'7 for reference), slim arm openings, high armholes, solid collar that looks neat. Bought a black MoM polo a few weeks ago on sale (I think something around 50$? IIRC) and I couldn't be any more happier with the quality/fit.

What size did you get? And where? I'm 5'7, 155 lbs and probably around 12% BF.

I'm 5'7, 140 lbs (35" chest) and I got a Size 1, which fits me perfectly.

I bought it off a sale they had a few weeks ago, but otherwise, you could check out their website. The variety is limited but every one needs a sharp looking black polo shirt, so it def. fills a need.

I got a Polo Ralph Lauren polo from Bloomingdales a few days ago. No tail on the backside and the horse is on the bottom front left of the shirt. Super soft cotton, not pique material. Highly recommend.

I have tried both Burberry and Polo... cant stand the "tail" on the RL polo shirts, like Burberry but want to try FP, anyone know which threads discuss the differences between where the Fred Perry polo is made and sizing, how to tell which are made where (without seeing the tag)

FWIW, my Large Burberry London slim fit polos fit like a 40R Fred Perry made in England. I'm normally a medium in most clothing..

For the most part, it goes like this:

MiE: Good quality, slim fit
MiJ: Good quality, slim fit and shorter sleeves and collar (they might be slimmer in the body than MiE, I'm not sure)
MiC: Crap

The FP MiJ's are tapered also. MiE are boxy.

Is the MIE Fred Perry true to size? What's your jacket size?
