    I’ve got some Crew ones but they’re a bit sack-like, I’d like something with a bit more shape (without being completely skinny mod-like). Plain colours.

    I know it’s been asked on here before but it was ages ago and I can’t find the thread.

    WWCFHW?

    Ralph Lauren…..but only when he’s actually playing polo

    I got a really nice one from Fat Face (well TK Maxx, but originally from FF) – plain, well fitting, well made and has washed a few times and kept its shape.

    Have never worn RL, even when I used to play polo! (Yes, really. While at university).

    John Lewis own label ones are nicely cut, good quality and plain/logoless. The best ones I have are from Roderick Charles, but it looks as if they’ve stopped making them.

    Sensible answer – Get thee to a big golf shop.

    They’ll have a wide selection of good quality polos.

    Try Spokes of London, online. They have really good sizing tool, and do great chinos, and polo’s. I have worn their ‘Sharps’ as work trousers for years and recently bought a few polo shirts and been impressed with fit, quality and service.

    A-haaa, I walk through a golf-course every day, right past the American Golf shop…

    Marks and Spencers! seriously, they have quality plain polos that are £10 in the outlet malls and £15 in normal shops. I hate logos on clothing and they don’t go bobbly after many washes and they look smart, loads of colours.

    I like the Nike Dri-fit ones. Super comfy and wash beautifully.

    Had a few of these: https://www.win-or-lose.com/polo-shirts/classic-fit-polo-shirts/
    Lasting well and well made and fit me ok (I’m straight up and down with a beer belly starting to show)

    The style in US InfoSec circles seems to be the UnderArmor ones. Lots of people wearing them as they wick away traces of pressure…

    In order of preference / desirability / street cred: Lyle & Scott, Fred Perry or Slazenger (pink, yellow or green) #backtotheeighties

    I am rocking a golf polo (!) today. Far more comfortable, dry quickly and don’t need ironing. What’s not to love!?

    Kirkland Signature at CostCo are good honest basic polo shirts. Just the right mix of cotton and elastane. Or, they certainly used to be.

    M&S also good for honest polo shirts.

    Much prefer plain polo shirts without ‘Boss’, ‘Polo’, ‘Auld Mannie’, etc nowadays. Understated elegance 🙂

    https://spoke-london.com/collections/tops look good, I think – and should be able to get a good fit as you choose chest, cut and length. No logo either.

    Alpkit do a wicking polo now, which would be good for hot days. Similar available in Lidl on occasion…

    Agree, I get mine from M+S.

    +1 We had some logoed polos made up for a work event / conference and they are very comfortable. If I’m going in the office and not seeing customers I just stick one on. No need to iron them either.

    Had the same dilemma recently when the auld polo was relegated to decorating duty.

    Ended up going for one by Paul Smith.

    Not sack-like, appreciably tailored compared to most of the other ones I tried and it has a multicoloured zebra on it. What’s not to like?

    Nothing wrong with M&S. The label is inside if it bothers you.

    My Hackett has held its shape well after numerous washes. Available without logos but not cheap. For patterned I like Ted Baker.

    +1 for Sunspel.
    Also look at Oliver Sweeney; still a few left in their sale.
    Boss sale nearly over but worth a look; decent quality and some are logo free – so even better.

    I quite like my Raging Bull ones. Not cheap, mind.

    Another vote for uniqlo. Been wearing them for years. They changed their sizing a couple of years back and I went from a medium to a large, although they were the same size.

    Fries.

    Maccy D’s doesn’t sell chips.

    It does, but it calls them fries for some reason. Long slices of potato fried until golden are chips. That’s a whole different thread though.

    Crew are a bit sack-like ?
    Not in my experience ..I really like the fit ..
    Another shout for Costco / Kirkland Polos ..really lightweight and ideal for hot sweaty days working outdoors ( wouldn’t wear them for anything else ..
    I also like Fatface Polo’s but have found the stitching to deteriorate on the shoulder and upper arm section long before ( my ) expected shelf life…

    i like the cut and colours of Pretty Green. never thought id buy anything connected to a gallagher, but i put my loathing to one side and bought a few in their sale.

    previously i tend to order around 20 that i like the look of at m&m direct, try them all on, keep around 5 and send the rest back. its usually the ‘slim fit’ jobbies that look best on me. no big logos as per above.

    Site from Screwfix/B&Q are decen quality for under £10.

    Not exactly fitted but not too baggy and very robust as intended for builders etc.
