The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[Shirts Anderson]

This seems like a good place for questions regarding Polo Country - can anyone comment on their experience with sizing and fit? My understanding is that it was the line that eventually became RRL and I'm curious as to how those old pieces fit as compared to newer RRL stuff. Measurements for stuff posted on Ebay and Etsy lead me to believe that silhouettes across the line are BIG. Is sizing down advisable? Or are these going to look weird if you don't go with your true size (i.e. sleeves way too short)? If anyone has any insight I would greatly appreciate it.

I rarely find footwear at my local thrifts so this was a welcome surprise. Practically new Wu-Wear x Clarks Wallabees, and a deadstock pair of AF1 "Medal Stand".

It's going to vary from piece to piece. I don't think you can make a blanket statement about sizing. Definitely have seen some generously sized Polo Country pieces, but then I've found others that were nominally my size but actually ran small.
