I'm really liking the long sleeve polo, especially the collar, but I'm just worried that the sleeves are going to be way too long on me (I'm 5'6" and think I would probably need a L).

Here’s some pics of new items. Taupe knit polo and donegal polo coat.

I’m a 40R contemporary jacket and for sizing I went with a large on the knit polo. The sizing feels good and the collar is nice, It looks great with and without a jacket. I’d prefer if It was a little heavier but not a deal breaker.

for the polo coat I went with a 42 and the pics are both layered over a sportcoat. I’m certainly happy with the decision to size up.

Great color on the taupe. I missed out on the medium version and got camel instead.

Any pics of the sweater polo unbuttoned up top? Collar looks big.

I know you're joking, but I actually have pretty big arms and a big chest

Never seen a suit have that much extra fabric at the arms

Maybe this is just a matter of taste then, or you have disproportionately big arms? For your reference, I'm kind of biggish but no Arnold, and the arms on the 46 contemporary fits nicely for me, as does the 44 - 46 in various other RTWs (Hart Schaffner Marx, Hickey Freeman, J.Crew Crosby, etc.). On the contrary, something like J.Crew Ludlow and most SuitSupply feels too tight, so that's where I stand, with regards to personal preference.

the collar points are larger than other brands I’ve seen but I think that works for it under a jacket. I didn’t snap any pics of it unbuttoned without a jacket, just this one with the dark brown and fox jacket together.

I'm curious now and want to see pictures of this extra fabric.
