I searched, but didn't really find anything.

What slim fit polo shirts do you guys find that are high end-->marked down to a reasonable price... around $100. Any ideas? VirtualClothesHorse.com has some Attolinis at a good price, but a little larger than my size.

I'm also interested in this. The one Purple Label one I bought was quite wide. Have you tried the TailorStore MTM polo? My first attempt didn't turn out so well, but the concept seemed good and I'm optimistic about trying again.

You've tried Sunspel? I'm not sure what you're looking for in high end (other than a high MSRP, I guess) but they have an optimal fit, sleeve length, collar, material, good construction, etc.

I have a few purple label polos that I really like... just can't wear them that often (two are the exact same color, just different years/different ponys running)

The only color I liked was only in XXL or XL.

Used to have a ton... have only bought one recently (within the past year and a half) and it actually fits very nicely. My older ones are all gigantic though.

I'm also interested in this topic as well. For the PL shirts, you have to get them with the 'Tailored Fit' tag on it. Otherwise, they will be the classic (wide) size. Even with the Tailored Fit, I still take it to my tailor for a slight trimming and then it fits fabulous.

The above is for the Purple Label Polo shirts, which are hard to find, in and of themselves. Especially in a small size.

The next best thing is Polo's mercerized cotton shirt. It has the multi-color small polo logo and has a nice sheen to it. I can't seem to find these anywhere, except online at their web site. It retails for $85, but on sale, you can get them around $50-60.

Generally the only difference between 'high end' polos and normal ones. It's knit cotton people. These are glorified tee shirts.
