What is it with the bottom of the sleeve being at your armpit? Seems to be a "design trend"
The sleeve needs to extend at least 4 inches from your armpit.
M and S here i come.
The issue here is you.
Polo shirts are ****ing dreadful.
Just please, never, ever, wear them with the collars turned up. 😳

how else do you show off your guns?
(I haven't worn a polo short in 20 years with the exeption of the freebies that work handed out, and they had nice long sleeves)
nbt - pretty much the same here.
I assume it's a fashion thing as a normal sleeve length would be at the peak girth of your average 20yr old polo shirt wearer's massive posing muscles so wouldn't fit unless massively flared. Just hope that shorts don't start to follow the same trend.
Never long enough in the body either.
Oh god, here come the middle aged fashion warriors. Again.
Just please, never, ever, wear them with the collars turned up.
Of...wear TWO with both collars turned up...As some yoots round here used to...
THat's doubly weird...!

No worries, most gym warriors skip leg day 😀

Internet high five for Josh. Whoever decided that a T-shirt needed a collar had some serious issues.

Does Hebtroco not make correctly sized polo shirts for middle aged ale drinkers? Sure they could do you one for about £180.
OP - I've just bought a job-lot from Mountain Warehouse. Decent fit and quality and only £5.99! 🙂

They're my daily work-wear so I don't like to spend a load on them as they can get marked with ink and toner.
Just hope that shorts don’t start to follow the same trend.
Odd you should mention that, a frien shared this the other day

I can't say I've ever measured my shorts but I'm fairly sure they're all 7" or longer...
Oh god, here come the middle aged fashion warriors
😆😆😆
Love a good polo shirt, they are my defacto Teams/office wear with some 7” inseam shorts tucked away under the desk.
🙂
Crocs are getting a bit racey these days as well. 😉
Just hope that shorts don’t start to follow the same trend.
I spend hours exercising to have tanned, muscular legs, shorter the better in my opinion, might as well show them off!
men’s guides to shorts this summer
So.. er, do we put a hem in previous years' shorts, or chuck them out and buy new shorter ones? Oh fashion, you fickle mistress.
I've had my shorts adjusted with inch-long zip-off strips all the way from 5 to 11" so I can precisely follow the trends.
As some yoots round here used to…
THat’s doubly weird…!
Are you in Sheffield? That "yoot" might have been me. Man I was cool back then.
For what is an incredibly mundane item of clothing, I don't understand the hatred for polo shirts. It's like expressing a strong opinion on, I don't, manhole covers or something.
A typical STWer relaxing after his 1000km ride, yesterday.

How dare you! Maintenance Hole I'll have you know.
Dez, come on man, the deal we had about sending each other pictures was that they stayed private.
Oops, sorry, I meant to crop your head out 😛
M and S here i come.
Ah, M&S. The refuge of the man who has given up on life.

Naaah M&S is the gateway retailer on the way to Cotton Traders! 🤣

As opposed to SuperDry, the refuge of the man who's desperately refusing to accept that he's middle-aged.
And Old Guys Rule, for the man who should be old enough to know that amusing t-shirts are amusing once.

Dangerholm might disagree 😳

Are you talking about inseam length of shorts?
Dangerholm might disagree
Looks like BIkerfox for the millenial generation
Once again a seemingly dull topic is providing unexpected riches. Well done all.

It even says "polo shirts" in the quoted text!

Ah, but this isn't any old sartorial institute, this is STW, polo shirts, Birkenstocks, Tilley hats and Ron hill tracksters are de rigeur. 🤣
Ah, M&S. The refuge of the man who has given up his waistline.
FTFY.
I am used to being judged.... i wear polo shirts to mainly work as in garden etc as the "looser" collar allows the heat to escape...
I like the concept of M and S as a gateway to Cotton Traders then i assume the Edinburgh Woolen Mill....
The Italians love a Polo shirt and they is proper smart...

C'mon, that's pretty good! Applause for @mogrim
Polo shirt, collar up, no need for sunscreen...job jobbed as far as this (former) gingernut is concerned

When you tell him let him know that I also think tennis is the most overly rated boring sport on TV.
And that's from someone who hates football.
Maybe I just hate Fred?
FunkmasterP nails it. What you are looking for is a t-shirt or a shirt.
Fred Perry was a very interesting character who led a great life. They are also the only polo shirts you should wear. Not to be worn by anyone whose fat or given up on personal style. I of course carry them off with aplomb when faced with someone who shops in Marks and Sparks or even worse wears Ralph Lauren polo shirts.
We have polo shirts for work. Had lots of different makes. The current one is some kind of 'technical' material, which I think is Sales speak for plastic shite.
As is typical, the sizing is hilarious. The difference between a medium and extra large seems to be purely belly space. Too short in the body and sleeves.
I'd not wear them if they weren't free and liked by work.

Excellent! This season's belly space collection...

Is one allowed to wear them to play polo?
Is this you?
Dear Lord no, @Jakester. Wouldn't be seen dead in a pair of Raybans
even worse wears Ralph Lauren polo
I have two Ralph Lauren Polo’s and find the trunk section short. Hugo Boss were good but the threads at the bottom at the hem seem to unravel. My favorite ones are Crew, which seem to hit the combo of hard wearing and good quality.

How do the other guys in the Frat house get on with them? 😉
The only people I've met who wear Ralph Lauren own lots of land in Berkshire or were South London drug dealers.

What’s Chandler from Friends brother got to do with this?
Also Polo mints are shit. Paying for a pack of mints with a quarter missing! Does the word Polo mean mediocre?
ho wear Ralph Lauren own lots of land in Berkshire or were South London drug dealers.
I'm wearing one now, and sadly I fit neither of those descriptions. Life would probably be a fair bit easier if I were!
