I have the same problem here with cargo shorts.

How do the W+H polos fit? As slim as their tees?

I like the button-front polos. They're like normal s/s shirts, but made of pique. Raf for FP had a few in solid colors, and I also noticed two from Jil Sander during the Gilt sale.

Not sure.

I'm thinking about getting one of the black and / or navy ones, for summer.

The buttons are awesome.

What are the tee's like? Thick or thin?

I wanted to get say a half dozen in the grey.

Armani Exchange Everyone hates on them, but my favorite and most interesting polos are from Armani Exchange. I just a couple on sale, marked down to $20 from $68. They use interesting textured fabrics, and have neat details everywhere. I think most people are turned off by the models they use, who wear them a little too tight. They fit me well (I wear a small, and am 5"7" and 125lbs). Nice and slim in the arms, and a straight cut in the body. Collars can be a little large, but I like them

Tees are lightweight but the quality of the cotton is great, with a slim fit all throughout the shirt. Haven't deformed at all after a bunch of washes. This was from their '07 graphic tee collection tho, don't know what they're like these days.

Awesome.

W+H quality is crazy awesome.

I'll have to pick a stack up, either from the SS sales or during the FW intakes.

That nautical-looking J. Crew polo from Zissou's most recent fit was great. Anyone know where to get something similar?

I went to try on the fred perry polo shirts, but none of them fit particularly well. They were too big pretty much everywhere beside the length. The Comme de garcons for Fred Perry was slightly better, but still not great. With ralph lauren polos I wear a boys large 16/18. Are there any brands that make polos that slim?

Did you try their Laurel Line or their Made in Japan polos? They are more fitted.

i tried a pair of ralph lauren boys large 16/18 last year. the chest fit perfectly, but the sleeves and shirt length were too short for me. since then, i've found that extra small raf simons polos fit me perfectly in all respects. south willard still has them in charcoal; i have a pair in blue.

I thought this was the best part about them.

I really enjoy the Fred Perry italian knit polos.

I own three polos and I think they're all fairly atypical due to the color/details
Dries van Noten
John Lawrence Sullivan (more of a t-shirt polo)
Izreel

I think the whole polo thing I mean its all about Fred Perry and Penguin as far as im concerned


I've never heard anyone complain about Fred Perry sizing or Penguin for that matter theyre absolutely perfect if theyre too baggy on you your either anorexic or not sizing down.. Fred Perry polos are the absolute best polos made......

Truth, I wear most polos in S (shrunk in the dryer as well) but I bought a FP polo at Nordstrom's Rack awhile back in S, and it shrunk down a ton in the dryer. I would need a Medium for sure.
