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.

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.

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.

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...

Love a good polo shirt, they are my defacto Teams/office wear with some 7” inseam shorts tucked away under the desk.

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.

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.

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.

Are you talking about inseam length of shorts?

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...
