So, what polos after tiring of Lacoste?

[Justusfew]

So, I've done my time with Lacoste polos and, while nice and colorful, they don't hold up too well after a wash (they widen something horrible). I've also been doing the polos by Polo since like junior high, so I'm somewhat ready for some variety (even though I love their custom fit polos, but their color schemes have been atrocious lately).

So, where do I go from here? I'm really not looking to go up any further in price. I remember the days when I thought it was insane for anyone to spend more than $50 on a shirt.

So, what do you guys recommend. I've heard some things about Penguin (although I don't care too much for their vintage look) and Fred Perry (I'm not sure where they are sold).

But, are there any other brands that I should check out? Preferably ones that can be easily purchased in-store rather than via th internet?

Thank you.

american eagle and abercrombie make very nice polos. some nice details on some of them too, like frayed edges and the like. the fit is nice and slim too, and they last me forever

[Guest]

Yep, another vote for Abercrombie. The soft fabric feels like you've had it for years.

[constant struggle]

f abercrombie

AMERCAN APARREL make good polo

ummmm........ Honestly, for your money, you should just stick with Ralph and Lacoste. There are some other real nice ones out there, but the prices are insane. Fred Perry and CDG comes to mind as well as tons that are released as collections with the Japanese companies. As far as the stretching and everything is concerned, I know what you mean about Lacoste, they seem to widen with age. A good solution is to take your old shirts to a tailor and have them tighten things up. It shouldnt cost too much and then you have a nice vintage polo with an improved silhouette. I picked up a few sz XL ralph polos on sale and I'm going to do the same after a few washed, cus the waists on these things are huge.

yet another vote for abercrombie...they're all made in malaysia (quality is comparable to that of italy/france), super stylish and go great with a pair of +++Supreme.19CM-MIJ.Vans

fred perry made in portugal

vintage polos are goodtoo, good construction and depending on the age they can have fairly slim fit + narrow collars..

[fadingblue]

I actually like those J Lindeberg polos. They run about the same as a Lacoste or Polo and they fit good and have the small collar/placket some people like. Although I'm not too fond of that seam going down the middle.

AMERCAN APARREL make good polo

There's actually a store about 6 blocks from my apartment. I looked at their polos once, but I wasn't too impressed.

[mr fluffernutter]

the dior polos are nice too (havent seen them in person, but they look good in pics)

[alterion]

Good Polo's:

Dior bee polo's (not the new tacky ones with the dior logo

Fred Perry made in england - NOT portutgal - the made in portugal ones have a worse fit

Ralph Lauren plain polo's

[yella]

i like fred perry polos, the ones with the slightly longer fit are nicest, they fit well otherwise but seeing as they are quite slim the longer ones look better, i'd recomend them theres a lot of nice colours.

check out lyle and scott too, not sure about whether or not you can get them in the us, but worth a look, good quality polos, sweatshirts and cardigans too for that matter

[bobby alto]

How are the Uniqlo polos?

[Justusfew]

How are the Uniqlo polos?

I'll say this, I have a rugby by them and the quality is not that great. It seems like they just stitched their name onto the first cheap Chinese-made rugby they got their hands on.

Same with their v-neck tees.

But, as for their polos, I can't really speak, because I own none.

[Justusfew]

Can anyone tell me what CDG stands for? And also CCP.

I've heard great things about Dior's jeans and now their polos, but damn if I know where to find them in my area.

Or Fred Perry's.

Guess I'll have to be on the hunt.

I've always looked at the American Eagle polos and they seemed to be of a good quality, but I never seriously pursued them.

Now, the A&F polos sound like they may be more up my alley, but damn I'm going to feel like a total herb going into that store. That's like one of the last things on the long list of things that I don't want to do, but, if they're as good as you guys claim, I'll take the dive.

[blah trite]

I stick with J. Crew polos because they don't have any branding on them.

That or Fred Perry.

Abercrombie/Hollister/AmEagle/etc. is really only suitable for high school.

[Jkerman]

If your going with a mall brand polo I would go with a Banana Republic. They have a good fit and dont have a logo on it which I think makes a polo look a whole lot better.

[alterion]

hahaha

um

CCP stands for Carol Christian Poell - never actually seen a ccp polo but i would expect to pay $5-700 for one at a guess so you understand what you are dealing with here....

CDG is comme des garcons a japanese label, i actually don't think they make that nice polos themselves, thier collab one's with fred perry were nice though

[homi29]

How are the Uniqlo polos?

i have one , fit is good if u size down and they have decent quality

id buy another if i still liked wearing polos

[Servo2000]

the dior polos are nice too (havent seen them in person, but they look good in pics)

I've gone through a couple, they're nice. I usually pick them up used - the three or so I've had I got for about the same price as a full-cost Made in England Fred Perry.

[AATNRS]

Made in Italy fred perry

[Servo2000]

Made in Italy fred perry

Why and where?

[conan.]

alterion: please do not speak for me. also you got the CCP acronym wrong, twat

[homme.homme]

Guess I'll have to be on the hunt.

You're right - guess make great polos too.

[fadingblue]

Fuck, no one got my CCP=American Apparel lame basics joke

Btw, that one Ann Dem polo that was all slouchy and stuff, I thought it was mad cool.

[Leeacto]

AF is solid if you want to promote your love for kayaking, summer camp, or whatever else lameass activities they stick on their shirts
