Spent $1500 to Find the Best Hoodie: • $60 vs. $850 Hoodie!
So I've worn polos literally my entire life and wanted to find out what the best polo out there would be. For this head to head, I've queued up six pique polos since I've selected this range by browsing blogs, reddit, youtube videos and fashion magazines to find the most popular ones. My ideal polo is one that nails 5 things: fit, fabric, collar, and overall construction. Let's find the best polo for men!
First we have the Uniqlo Dry Pique Short Sleeve Polo Shirt. It came in right around $20 and I honestly don't have many complaints at this price point. I'm 5'10 and weigh in at 175 pounds so I went true to size with medium. It is the most relaxed of the bunch when it comes to fit.
The fabric on this polo is nothing special but gets the job done. The single layer collar on this shirt is flimsy. The placket is nice and deep and the plastic buttons are expected at this price point. I like the split hem and the ribbed cuffs. Overall, it's a great polo for $20 but might not look as tailored and polished as most guys would want a polo to look.
Next we have Kent Wang's polo. I got my hands on this white one in a size medium that goes for $65. Kent Wang claims these to be very slim fit but they fit slightly slimmer than a normal custom fit. The fabric is structured and the weave isn't too tight or too loose. It's comparable to Polo Ralph Lauren. The highlight of this polo has to be the collar. I found this to be much stronger than the competition and it hasn't lost it's shape at all. The placket is a perfect depth. Kent Wang seems like a no nonsense kind of brand. The inner branding seems prone to peeling At $65 this thing is good value for money.
Let us move on to Lacoste. Lacoste is considered the OG of the men's polo world. They retail for $90 but certain colors can be found for around $50 on sale. Sizing is weird on this one so I would go try them on in store prior to purchasing. I got a classic fit small. The front and back are the same length making this harder to tuck in. I love the longer sleeves that still manage to hug the arms. The fabric on this polo was thin, lightweight and breathable with the pique being on the finer side. The combination makes it perfect for warmer days. The finer weave makes the polo look like it has less texture compared to the rest and it feels near identical to Loro Piana. The collar was disappointing on this Lacoste polo. The deep placket helped give the polo shirt a more upscale look in my opinion. If it wasn’t for the collars, I could see myself having multiples of these in my wardrobe.
Next up we have Polo Ralph Lauren. I’ve worn a custom fit medium for years now. The polo hugs the arms and chest and tapers towards the waist. The length is an inch or two short for my preference but it’s worth the tradeoff since everything else fits well. The fabric is okay and average. The collar was disappointing and flimsy. The placket is short so you can wear it unbuttoned without looking arrogant. In terms of quality and price, there are definitely better options out there. They retail for $95 but it’s fairly easy to find them much cheaper at department stores.
The Sunspel Riviera polo was made for James Bond (Daniel Craig) Casino Royale. I ordered mine in a size medium in the Forest color way. The polo is trim but not overly slim. The sleeves hit right at your mid-bicep and did not restrict my movement. The fabric is exceptional and the collar is very strong. The buttons were cheap looking and the pocket was something I personally did not like but that is subjective. There’s just something about wearing James Bonds polo that give you a little extra pep in your step.I bought mine for $135 but I’ve been seeing them one sale for $64 on Sunspel website frequently depending on color.
Finally we have Loro Piana. I ended up going with the cotton one for a whopping $545 before taxes in a size medium in the optic white color. The build quality and fit and finish were exceptional but that’s to be expected on a $600 polo. The placket was the deepest and the pearl buttons were nice. Loro Piana's polo had a curved hem and a stiff collar.

Hi, I’m probably going to try some of your shirts based on this video.

[@kentwangco]

Awesome! I'm sure you'll love it

[@epicunderstament867]

Hello Kent, would the polos become available in Ivory or ecru colourway?

[@dietman]

Can you please make another line of long sleeve polo shirts where it doesn’t come with buttons on the sleeves? Like similar to sunspel’s long sleeve polos? I feel the cuffs and buttons on the sleeves a bit awkward for someone my age. PLEASE I WILL BUY SO MANY OF YOUR POLOS!!!!!

[@kentwangco]

You're the first person that has ever brought up this issue, so if you're worried about looking awkward, don't be! Thousands of men of all ages have bought our long sleeve polos and they don't find it awkward. You could also try rolling up the sleeves.

[@joelman1989]

[@americantopgunner5102]

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.

[@asim]

Appreciate the suggestion! I’ll have to buy one to check them out

[@TTarafdar]

These videos have piqued (no pun intended) my interest, mostly because of the brands you've selected and your conclusions. So far, I'm glad that I concur with your t-shirt and polo rankings. I love Sunspel for Polos and Asket for tees. Would be great to see a comparison of loafers, boat shoes and over-shirts as we move into summer. Keep up the great content.

[@asim]

Love to hear it! Thanks for watching

[@coreyjames9560]

Love the in depth review, love Pique polos so simple, yet versatile and comfortable. In terms of hoodie I like a plain hoodie to go with jeans or chinos, I like a loose fit hoodie not too big and not too small but one that looks good and will continue to look good the more I wear it.

[@asim]

Thanks Corey!

[@Mannycreated]

You should make a video of you finding the best trousers for styling polos!! Would love that !! And great video !!

[@asim]

Definitely a great idea!

[@samuelsierra9503]

Great video!😁, Have you thought about opting in for SunSpel's sea island cotton shirt, I'd say it would feel just as good as the Loro Piana and around 200 dollars less expensive. By the way thanks mentioning on how the collars curling on lacoste and the shrinkage on the Burberry. Also have you gave Brooks Brothers a shot?

[@asim]

I have only experienced the classic one from Sunspel but will need to order the one you mentioned. I haven’t tired BB but I’ve heard good things

[@AnarchyEcho]

Great video mate! As for hoodies, I think you can't go wrong with an Adidas hoodie, I like them.

[@andersbrynildsen4749]

I bought a tommy hilfiger pique about 5-6 years ago and it is the best quality I have ever had, it is still like new. This one I recommend everyone to buy !!

[@asim]

I’ll take a look

[@markwoodley712]

Nice comparison of brands, my personal preference is split between Fred Perry and vintage Penguin polo shirts. Did stop to browse the Loro Piana clothes at the Marco Polo airport in Venice but was prepared for the sticker shock, found a very soft cashmere jacket. Thought you might have included the Hermes brand, I'm sure you could find something in the $10K range.

At a very low point my wallet becomes the factor of what I choose and don’t choose haha

[@jimmbear3998]

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.

[@chrisp5526]

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.

[@asim]

Yeah purple label is top tier for sure

[@adamsinsirlamoureux9786]

I been wearing Polo nearly ever since I can remember, Ralph Lauren slim and custom fit are always my number one. Material, color, and style. Elegant yet simple.

[@asim]

They’ve been my go to for majority of my life!

[@kayronmercieca8226]

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.

[@asim]

This is great perspective. Thanks for sharing!

[@FlyFishingChronicles]

I doubt that a fabric can influence your body functions like sweating :D

[@iamblacktalon]

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!

[@asim]

Ahh yes I agree. Kent wang does make there’s a few inches long but I’m glad you agree in regards to sunspel! Crazy to think someone from Singapore watches haha

I randomly find this vlog and I've similar experience with plenty of polo-shirt too. In my case, I've tried a Hermes polo shirt but to be honest quality wise almost the same from uniqlo or ralph lauren purple label.

[@asim]

Yeah! I think the level of quality in terms of price drops off rather quickly in this segment

[@shafiqmazlan6770]

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.

[@asim]

Yeah I agree with you there!

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!

[@Fred__]

They are made in Italy with local suppliers fabrics, must be high quality

[@abboed.4076]

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.

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.

@@BeeRumblin13 The word made in england is just a word. it is made with the same pique cotton and probably the same small Chinese hands at low cost. 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.

In my opinion, "top" is best defined by what fits your anatomy the best which then provides your particular body the best look. You can get lacoste all day but if it looks and fits too tight or too baggy and can't get that perfect fit, then who cares.

[@Sailingbill1]

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.

[@asim]

Glad to know I’m not the only one who saw a deterioration in quality. Agreed with your last statement fully! As long as it fits well, lasts long, and makes you happy, nothing else matters!

Sunspel all day every day! Great video!

[@asim]

Agreed!

My fav pique polo is Lanvin’s. The fabric is not stretchy, but thin yet strong and luxurious. It’s the best for me due to two things, washed and worn countless times for 5+ years yet the shape and colour is still intact. Another really good one is Paul & Shark, but not as good as the Lanvins. I’ve made this comparisons with other polos that I’ve owned that include polos from Versace, Paul Smith, La Martina, RL, Isaia, DKNY, Sunspel, Lacoste, Burberry, CK, Hugo Boss, Ami, Eton and some other lower lines.

Thanks for sharing!

Good video do a vid on ironing the polo shirts

[@asim]

I’m sure there are a few on KZbin but I can def look into it for a short or something!

[@RouslanSolomakhinKG]

Now I have 3 more polo shirts. Thanks September!

[@asim]

Just wait for the hoodie video to drop in a few weeks! 😮‍💨

An excellent roundup and review. I've had Lacoste and they were very good, my Sunspels I've had for a VERY long time but still look good. I've found that despite taking care laundering, the collars on any polo seem to fade compared to the body of the shirt. I've some Lyle & Scott ones that I bought last summer and they've been a good balance of quality for the price, £65 here in the UK.

Appreciate you watching! My sunspel is holding up well so far but let’s see

[@supreme1cam]

What a great video tbh. Any thoughts on the Hugo Boss cotton blend polo? I really like mine but don’t own that many polos to compare

[@asim]

I haven’t tried them yet!

[@joytekb]

Great video comparison

[@asim]

Thanks!

[@Bikrant50]

Came from Reddit, loved the video and appreciate the writeup as well!

[@asim]

Thank you!

[@zacharyausmus1202]

Great video! I've always heard the polo shirt was also popularized by Rene Lacoste when he cut the sleeves off his shirt for playing tennis.

[@asim]

That could also be it

[@snowwolf4148]

Amazing content bud. Btw which watch are you wearing ?

[@asim]

Undone Killy

[@Freco1967]

My favorite hoodie is from Unbound Merino. Thin, super comfortable and somehow warm.

[@asim]

Thanks! I’ll look into it

[@Skeee1337]

Great Vid! J.Crew hoodies have been my go-to for quite a while. 🍁

[@asim]

Awesome thanks sam!

[@AlacrityWasTaken]

I’ll always love the Lacoste Polos. I have so many in my wardrobe

[@asim]

Held up well?

[@AlacrityWasTaken]

@@asim Absolutely

[@LAmagnet]

Thanks for the video! Lacoste is a brand from France 🇫🇷 I think it’s worth noting when mentioning the brand’s rich history. Also, you sound like Ryan Gosling!

[@asim]

Appreciate it and noted!

[@lonwolf8245]

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!!!

[@plowerrr3]

Awesome video. Did you test these through the dryer for shrinkage, or did you just wash them and hang dry? Curious if the Sunspel and Kent Wang polos shrink significantly in the dryer.

[@asim]

Minimal shrinkage across

[@mr-prez]

Thanks for this informative video! What blue jeans are you wearing with the Kent Wang Polo by the way?

[@asim]

Days of September!

[@gvapomusic4642]

Favorite hoodies are from Acne Studios, the quality & fit is just so top notch!

[@asim]

Gotcha, thanks!

[@british138]

Great content sir I do have a question for you what brand and fit were those Jeans that you had in the video?.

[@asim]

Days of September! The white ones were from Polo Sullivan fit

[@franco05]

Dior makes really nice polo shirts also, the collars are stretchy and really nice feeling

[@myfriendisaac]

That Sunspel *collar* is THE ONE 🔥

[@asim]

It’s the goat!

[@JasonMatison]

I bounced around from polo to polo. Finally found happiness with Banana Republic.
