The Polo Suit Thread

[Superfluous]

I always thought Polo 1 was a big body full cut... but one I'm looking at is describing it as trim fit... is it?

If you listen to the earlier "polo suit thread" you would think as much. But my PoloI suit if definitely slimmer than my IIs & IIIs. Compare the measurements they list with the measurements of another model of the same size.

Does anyone know the model of these two Polo suits? Three Button Charcoal Two-button Navy Whatever models these two are, the ones in-store should be the same right?

My guess is Polo II and Polo I based on amount of buttons. However, they say that first one is trimmer, and generally Polo II isn't.

Polo I suit jacket is pretty trim, the pants, plated as they are, are fuller cut. Didn't like it too much initially, but now I think it's fine

Bringing this back with the newly released models I have experience with: OP: There are many threads where questions are posed regarding Polo Ralph Lauren Suits and the differences between the cuts. This is in hopes that we can have 1 thread dedicated to all questions Polo suit related.I know about this post, but from experience I know it not to be 100% accurate/definite, see below: Polo I - single vent, 2 button (full, traditional cut) - I have a Polo I that is 2B, but slim, double vented. Polo II - double vent, 3 button (traditional cut, but 3 button and side vents can make it look slimmer than Polo I) - I have 3 Polo II suits, all double vented, 3B and slim, but 1 has a ticket pocket & pants with side adjusters, 1 has flat front pants and 1 has double forward pleated pants. Polo III - double vent, 2 button, ticket pocket - No experience here (unless these are the ones that say BLUE LABEL (see below) Polo IV - double vent, 3 button, ticket pocket (slightly higher arm holes, so feels trimmer about the chest) - No experience here (unless these are the ones that say BLUE LABEL (see below) BLUE LABEL - I have 2 suits that are marked Blue Label in lieu of Polo I-IV, one is 3B, side vented, slim with pleated trousers. The other is 3B, side vented, ticket pocket, side adjusters on trousers (no belt loops) Garrison - I have a Garrison model that is 2B, side vented, WIDE lapels, pants have side adjusters and no loops. I've seen Garrison models with belt loops. Very trim fit with more padding in the shoulders than I & II models. Bradford - I have a Bradford model that is 3B, side vented, slim lapels, pants have loops and double forward pleats. I've also owned a Bradford model that was 2B, side vented, flat front with loops. Very trim fit with more padding in the shoulders than I & II models. Desmond The Desmond model I have is 2B, side vented, heavy flannel cloth (95/5 wool/cash) high armholes, slim sleeves. Trousers are flat fronted with side adjusters and they came with belt loops in the bag. My coat has a throat latch but Ive seen models without it. Garrison-Desmond I've seen these for sale on eBay but I have no experience with them, tho it seems it just means a merge of the two models with WIDE lapels, high armholes and a nipped waist. All of the models I;ve seen are side vented. Discontinued modes (copied from above link); Bleeker - usually 3 button, single vent; slimmer fitting (in both chest and arms), shorter in length for similar sized coats; suits with flat front pants, slim fitting and tapered. Congressman - similar to bleeker, though not sure whether pants are as slim fitting; seems to be sold at dept stores (like Macy's suit dept) rather than Polo stores. What's your experience/input? Thanks

I like your dedication to RL. When is the store opening in Harlem?

I have a Polo I and a Polo II suit and some Polo II jackets. I really like the Polo II fit. I found the Polo I to be a bit more trim.

As much as the hood supports Polo you'd think, right?

Start @ 3:00

They were just on sale during the Private Sale in April/May for 30% off plus the 15% kicker.
