Compared within this brand.
| Responsible Merino Wool Flat-Ribbed Polo: Choose this if you want a 100% responsible merino wool polo with a fine, breathable knit that regulates body heat, in a soft flat-rib texture with an open, pointed Johnny collar and no visible buttons or placket. It is a long-sleeve pullover with a relaxed torso fit, ribbed cuffs, and a wider ribbed band at the hem, offered in Black, Mossy Green, Dark Blue, and Crimson across sizes Small to X-Large. Note that the buttonless V-neckline sets it apart from traditional buttoned polos.[1,2,3,4] | Optical Honeycomb Knit Polo: Choose this if you want a soft, breathable long-sleeve knit polo for office and smart-casual settings, thanks to its finely textured honeycomb knit, fold-down collar, ribbed cuffs and hem, and a blend of 65% recycled polyester and 35% cotton that reviewers say wears cool in warm indoor rooms. Be aware the relaxed cut runs about half to a full size large and the delicate knit pills and pulls easily, so it suits light, low-abrasion wear and needs line drying unless you size up and shrink it intentionally.[5] | Retro Stripe Polo: Choose this if you want a short-sleeve knit polo with retro vertical stripes in navy and brown on a cream base, a three-button polo collar that lies flat, and matching ribbed collar, cuffs and hem with a straight hem and small side slit. It comes in Patterned White and Green color options in sizes Small to X-Large, and the light knit is 65% viscose and 35% polyester, described by the retailer as ultra comfortable. Note that the relaxed fit shown on the model reflects that image only and may differ on other bodies.[6,7,8] |
