If you're a muscular build guy, I'd always go with Ralph Lauren custom fit, I have loads of polo's in different brands, boss, armani, lacoste etc but RL still best fit even though other brands are probably a bit more fashionable.

I think the best option and value would be to go fully bespoke if you have the time. There are plenty of higher-end tailors that stock jersey and pique fabrics from different mills, ready to create a custom-made polo to your exact liking from fabric to fit and even collar style. For much less than an off-the-rack Loro Piana polo too.

I went on a similar journey, since I wear polos 90% of the time. Here in Singapore, temperatures regularly hit 36C and humidity close to 100%. I started with Kent Wang after hearing about them from styleforum. Heavy duty fabric, love the collar, but not so happy about the length and fit. You can see the length is slightly too long for you and bunches at the hips. This means I had to shorten them after purchase, which isn’t a big deal, but still. I next tried sunspel and so far it was the best fitting one. Cool fabric, pretty good construction, better colour options than Kent Wang. Thanks for your video!

I personally like the Ralph Lauren Performance stretch jersey polo shirts. They are made of polyester but so silky soft they stretch dnt shrink or fade. I’ve have some for years lots of washed and loom great still. At $110 a shirt I expect it to last a few years and 100% cotton fades and shrinks. I recommend their pants as well just a different look and feel from Levi’s they’re also $110 each.

I really like Ralph Lauren clothing in general, though I own about 18 to 20 Polos, all by Lacoste. Most are the Paris Polo Regular Fit in Size 3 (S), though I have some Classic Fit in Size 3 (S) and some Slim Fit in Size 4 (M). Overall they all fit extremely well to my muscular build, are very comfortable and do not cause me to sweat down my back like other clothing does in 30°C+ temperatures.

Nice video, since I live in FL and work 4 of 5 days remotely polos are what I wear most. The ones I have the most of are Ralph Lauren. I like the look, the fit, and color options of them. Plus they are easy to find on sale. Mine have always been under $65. I prefer the softer ones vs the traditional pique. The downside I have found is some don’t hold their color as well as others and the collar on some starts to lose its shape and appearance. I have Lacoste too which i like but they are tougher to find on sale. They seem to hold color better than RL and collar is better but then can shrink to where they get short. I also have some Vineyard Vines which are a bit heavier so I tend to wear them more in Florida winter or cooler months. I am surprised you didn’t have VV as they are better known than others on this list. I like trying different brands as well. I have an Abercrombie & Fitch polo I like and I have bought cheaper brands too that have been hit or miss. I recently ordered an Alex Vando which I have never tried but got such a great deal I said why not. I also just ordered a True Classic Polo as it is always advertised and I wanted to try it. I understand it is more of a softer/casual polo which is fine as I like having softer/lightweight more casual polos for hanging out on the weekends that I can wear with shorts. Of the brands you reviewed, I definitely want to try the Kent Wang as it seems nice at a reasonable price point. I can’t see paying $100+ for a polo so probably won’t try the others.

so far my favorite is an RRL (double R L; Ralph Lauren sub-brand). The Purple Lable Ralph Lauren is also nice. albeit both can be very expensive, but sales occur periodically. they can go as much as 50% off; however, if a shirt is 300$, 50% off is still very expensive; RRL is not 300$, but purple lable can be, without discount. something I also like, besides fit, quality, and material is there are no branding to see, on most of their polos.

From Rene Lacoste's alligator polo, Fred Perry's polo as the last Briton to win Wimbledon till Andy Murray, to the iconic Sergio Tachini polo which John McEncore donned before signing with Nike. Through it all Fred Perry's polo held its own when Lacoste and Sergio faltered until 15 to 20 years ago when they made a comeback with exorbitant price tags.

I have several m3600s made in China, the only problem is that after washing at 40 degrees as indicated on the label, it shrinks by a good 7-8 cm in length. and I've seen other opinions that said the same on the m12 made in England. but it remains a beautiful polo shirt which is pleasant to wear and it fits correctly I think.

I'm a nut when it comes to polos. When I find one I like I buy EVERY color!! 80's and 90's I was obsessed with IZOD LaCoste. They fit great up top but so long. Then I went with Ralph Lauren POLO. Also great fit. Over to Banana Republic. I bought at least 10 shirts in each brand. Then I discovered HOLLISTER which my daughter says I'm too old to wear but they fit well and look good untucked and with shorts or jeans and are cheap as dirt!!! And I recently went to size small even though I'm a 40 Short and they hug my chest like a dream!!!

Funny, although love wearing polos as well, I never really compared my own polo collection, from various brands, ranges and price labels as well (like cheapies from H&M, more expensive ones like Polo RL, Alexander McQueen, McGregor, Karl Lagerfeld, Paul&Shark, Faconable, Cavalli, Fred Perry, John Richmond, La Martina and high end like Brioni and Brunello Cucinelli). Let's give it a try: 🙂 Best fitting: H&M, Paul&Shark, McGregor, Fred Perry, La Martina and Faconable. Most 'expensive' looking: La Martina, Faconable, Karl Lagerfeld, Ralph Lauren, Paul&Shark and Brioni. Best materials: La Martina, Faconable, Brioni and Brunello Cucinelli. (However, the Brunello Cucinelli polo, my most expensive polo, quickly starts to show sweat stains if the weather/environment is warmer, completely ruining the sophisticated look.) 'Coolest' most fashionable/hip looking: John Richmond and Cavalli. Final verdict: not a clue. 🤔😉 But the most worn are my Ralph Lauren polos. Best value for money: H&M, Karl Lagerfeld, McGregor, Fred Perry and Faconable. Favorites for going out: Cavalli, Karl Lagerfeld, McGregor, McQueen and Richmond.

I wore RL Polo's for over 40 years. However, the quality continued to worsen over the last 15 years to the point that I don't enter the RL store anymore. I find the price/quality to me shameful. Typical example of a brand shipping their Mfg'ing to a country with cheap labor and catering to the US market that completely ignores quality and just wants things on the cheap. After buying a Lacoste polo in St Barths a few years ago I found this to be a much better solution. Being 183cm/6ft, muscular and fit the slim cut is perfect. The only issue is the length is made for French and not those of us from taller countries, DE for example. The quality is good, it keeps the form, the colors are plentiful and are "smart" with the right pant or shorts. Good luck guys! In the end its all about what makes you feel good about yourself and feels good when you wear them.

I legit got a few sunspel polos a month ago and I love them. Glad they hit the top of your list! Also, this isn't mainstream but I'd check out Wolf vs Goat polos as they are a silk cotton blend I think - I got a couple of them and they fit suuuuper well. and for hoodie suggestions I'd suggest Lulu (of course), american giant, and old navy. Not sure what other good hoodie brands are out there but maybe that's an opportunity to make a solid hoodie company!

No item of clothing has disappointed me more than the Sunspel polo. I got the short and long sleeve Riviera's in navy and after about a month, they shrank and turned purple on a normal 30 degree wash. Never again.

I have done this too, but over several years.... I am also in Texas and Pique tends to be too thick for my liking (I do have a couple of Fred Perry's that I love, but not on hot days). James Perse Sueded Jersey polos are my favorite... The cut is just right, and the fabric never feels hot... The colors are fantastic, and they change them up every year.

You will see a difference in a year or two after countless washings. LP uses sea island cotton (as does Sunspel for a markup), which is an incredibly fine and long staple cotton. This won't pill or look dull over time like others do.

I do agree with you there. Some will age better than others but I still stand behind Sunspel compared to LP purely due to the cost.

This might be out of left field here but here me out, I own probably about 10+ Ralph Lauren Classic Polo Shirts and loved them for their classy look. I have an athletic build and they are perfect when new. After a few uses maybe a year or so they start to age like any other polo but the cost is very high for such. Since the pandemic I’ve been gravitating towards other brands even cheaper alternatives and no joke I’ve been really liking polos from like 32 Degrees even Sams Club Member’s Mark. The quality is actually not that bad. I don’t care for Lululemon type polos but have many of their Metal Vent Tech shirts. But for classy I’ll always gravitate toward Ralph Lauren. But for casual, I wouldn’t mind going for these other brands nowadays.

And unlike the Kent Wang, there are an abundance of Goodfellow in stock. Cheers!

I am surprised as no one spoke about Superdry Polo even in comments. They may not have the best fabric but definitely the best fit for my body type - they hug the body, sleeves are not too long and the length is apt - a great value for money. Is it just me as a fan? In terms of fabric quality, I find Lacoste polo the best.
