Essential Pima Cotton Polo Shirt: Choose this if you want a long-sleeved black polo in a relaxed, straight cut that falls to the top of the hips, made of thick, naturally stretchy 100% Pima cotton jersey with a slight shimmer, smooth fine-knit texture, pointed flat collar, and three-button placket, in sizes SMALL through X-LARGE. Note the fit and length were observed on the pictured model, so how it sits on other bodies isn't established.[1,2,3]Bron Milano Anemone Polo: Choose this if you want a lightweight, ultra-fluid polo in a soft, ultra-stretch jersey knit of 67% modal, 30% polyester, and 3% spandex that the brand describes as suitable solo or under a jacket for a dressier look. It has a regular fit with short sleeves ending above the elbow, a low-profile flat knit collar, a three-button placket, and a straight hem with visible topstitching, offered in sizes small through extra large. Note that the fabric's subtle sheen and smooth, slightly matte look come from analyst image observations rather than confirmed specs.[4,5,6]Contrasting Trim Piqué Polo Shirt: Choose this if you want a lightweight, 100% cotton piqué polo in a regular fit with refined details: two-tone pinstripes, a bird's-eye texture, and contrasting solid trim on the collar and short-sleeve cuffs. It comes in Patterned Green and Patterned Blue in sizes small to extra-large, with a chest patch pocket, three-button placket, and a straight hem — a piece the merchant describes as timelessly refined and easy to wear.[7,8]
