Mens' RL Polo Shirts
Every polo in this collection is built on the same foundation: Pima cotton piqué. That's what gives these shirts their structure, their breathability, and the durability to survive years of regular wear and washing. Below, you'll find the fit and fabric details that matter before you buy.
Why Pima Cotton Piqué
Pima cotton uses longer fibers than standard cotton, which means finer yarn, less pilling, and a shirt that holds its shape wash after wash. The piqué weave adds texture and structure on top of that — it's what keeps the collar standing and the fabric from clinging to the body in the heat.
Find Your Fit
This collection carries three fit types, and picking the right one matters more than picking a size up or down:
- Classic Fit — Roomier through the chest and body. Best if you want comfort and easy layering.
- Custom Slim Fit — Trimmed at the sides without being tight. The most popular fit for everyday wear.
- Slim Fit — Cut close to the body for a fitted look. Size up if you want any breathing room.
Check the size chart on each product page — measurements can shift slightly between collection years.
Built for Everyday Wear
These shirts work across more situations than most people expect: smart-casual office days, weekend errands, golf, or layered under a blazer. The piqué weave holds up under an iron, resists wrinkling on its own, and doesn't lose shape after repeated washes the way cheaper cotton blends do.
Care Tips
Wash cold, inside out. Skip the high-heat dryer cycle — it's the main reason piqué cotton starts breaking down early. Medium-heat ironing is safe if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between piqué and jersey polo shirts?
Piqué has a textured, waffle-like weave that adds structure and holds the collar shape. Jersey is a smoother, softer knit with more stretch and drape, but less structure.
Which RL Shirts fit runs truest to size?
Custom Slim Fit is generally the middle-ground option — closer to true-to-size than Classic (roomier) or Slim (tighter through the body).
Is Pima cotton worth the higher price over regular cotton?
For shirts you'll wash and wear often, yes — the longer fibers resist pilling and hold color and shape longer than standard cotton.
