we're here to help you never dress like that.

actually, if a J. Crew model were dressed like that, it wouldn't look half bad...

LOL! Many people do that. I'll stick with the OP's original question.

Lacoste is the better polo of the two. I tried on a Burberry and it did not look as good as Lacoste. The burberry logo looks cheap as well, like it was printed on a dot matrix printer from the 1980's. Lacoste has mother of pearl buttons and the design is much nicer.

Most of my older polos are Ralph Lauren, and when I decided to replace them with something higher end I went with Lacoste.

I am extremely thin (think 32-34R) and of average height (5'9") and they fit me excellently. Fitted, but not tight. I feel like a medium would be too short, although I haven't really tried, but a large after being washed a few times fits like a glove.

I'm a 34R, would probably be a 34L if they would make such a thing. I'll check out PRL kids, but I feel like they're probably going to come up short.

On another note, I found a PRL Custom Fit in size XS at TJ MAXX, which I've never been able to find at Belk/Macy's/Polo Outlets. I have to stretch it lengthwise after washing, and I definitely won't throw it in the drier, but it fits like a dream.

Someone mentioned that when you get the RL Polo custom colored.they arent that high of quality
I agree with that I got a big pony one in all black and you can see where the white thread showed and then used a black marker to darker up the logo
My regular custom fit big pony looks top notch
I wonder why.
