For those of you who have the Polo II model suit or have tried it on, will you tell me how it fits? (e.g., boxy or slim, etc.) Thanks.

the polo II is my favorite rl model. i'm a 38s and it fits very well...not boxy at all. very light shoulder padding, a slight suppressed waist (not as suppressed as shown on the website) and narrow sleeves + double vents!

Second poster hit the nail on the head -- very soft garment overall; nicely nipped at the waist, but also narrower shoulders, which gives it a narrow silhouette the whole way down, as opposed to just waist suppression; highish armholes for ready to wear. The shoulders have virtually no padding and are naturally sloped, yet still with enough structure to give a clean line. Also a three-roll-two button stance. Honestly, I wish they made the Polo II with the Purple Label construction, because I think it's the best cut Polo does.

It is also my favorite. The least shoulder padding I have found. About the same as JPress! Nice waist shape, etc. The blue label versions I have are fused, with canvassed lapels that roll very nicely.

It's a very nice suit. Moderately slim. Beautiful job on the lapel roll.

Is it possible to order Polo II models from a RL store? The only time I see Polo II is on ebay.

I don't see why not. They're also available on their website.
