I have been looking around for some good quality Polo shirts. I have been disappointed by a few in the past. Uniqlo & Savile Row company's polo shirts have been good. I like Lacoste a lot, but am waiting for my next trip to the US for them. 

Which brands do you prefer?

RE: Polo shirts - which is your favourite?

Im a lyle & scott fan myself, they fit really well and i have one that i have worn to the gym for a few years and it still washes up like new.

The last two lacoste that i have had have badly shrunk over time so are now unwearable ( think i might fleabay them ! )

Then there are the ever reliable Fred Perrys, that always look good with a nice pair of jeans.

I feel a shopping trip coming .....

Ralph Lauren.

A few years ago I bought a number of Timberland Polos from US outlets and they still look tip top. You would be mad to pay the full price for them though.

Another vote for Fat Face.

My favourite though is Crew. The cut and length is really good on me. Living in Swindon, we're blessed (?!?) with an outlet centre. I can get 2 crew polo shirts for less than the cost of one on the high street, merely because it's last years colour.

I have a couple of Ralph Lauren ones that are 15 years old too! Colour is faded somewhat but the shape is still there and they're not worn out at all.

Good to have a list of recommended brands when you go shopping next time.

For me its Ralph Lauren - the quality of them is really good.  Although you do PAY for the quality.  Also Superdry seem pretty decent (albeit theyve got some rather stripey in your face lines).
