Three polos covering both jobs a polo does. Two quick-dry knits, one with UPF 50+, and an Italian knit cotton long sleeve. Chest at size M sits at 113 cm to 114 cm.
Collar structure is what separates a polo you keep from one you bin. The rib has to hold its own weight after twenty washes. Once it goes soft it curls at the points and lies flat against the neck, and no amount of ironing brings it back.
Knit density does that work. A tighter rib holds its stand. A loose one gives up in a season.
Collar, sleeve and fabric
The Quick-Dry Polo Shirt UPF50+ measures 113 cm at the chest and carries a rated sun block, which matters more on a polo than a tee because the collar leaves the back of the neck exposed. The Moisture-Wicking Quick-Dry runs 114 cm and 72 cm long with a 22 cm sleeve.
The Long-Sleeve Polo Shirt Italian Knit Cotton is the odd one out at 65 cm long with a 54 cm sleeve and a 58 cm shoulder. Fabrics run cotton, polyester and a 99% polyester with 1% spandex. All three carry a full size chart, sizes run S to XL, and shoots use a 188 cm model or taller. Wash cold.
