I'm not usually one for Southern __________ stuff, but I have a good opportunity to pick up several things from Southern Marsh but don't know anything about the quality.

Mainly interested in the synthetic fishing pocket t's and the synthetic polos. Can anyone comment on that stuff or just the quality of SM generally? The polos look similar to the synthetic Peter Millar polos, which are my go to.

I might get it regardless to try out, but it's not that easy to find reviews of frat wear companies and I don't think I can get to a store before I'd need to use the offer.

They make good stuff IMO. I don't have any issues with the quality.

The polo I have is pretty low quality, definitely better out there. Everything else though is pretty well made.

I despise their Tshirts. Sleeves are way too short and the neck holes can fit three necks in them.

The synthetic fishing pocket t's are legit. My biggest complaint is the fit of the t-shirt. And the button downs are pretty shite quality

Their quality is inferior to Southern Tide and Southern Proper IMO.

THIS x 1,000,000

I also found that they tend to show up bleach spots after a few washings.

That said I still love their shirts. Quality is great other than those 2 issues.

Yes and it fits me poorly, along with feeling like it might dissolve with a few more washes. I don't have a button down but I hear generally good things from friends that do have them. If you're looking for polo shirts, Brooks Brothers makes the best, hands down.

Yeah I'm definitely not interested in their cotton polos.

Thanks for the input, all.

I know their shirts use to shrink really bad, to the point where they were to small to wear.

I have heard that they switched shirt manufacturers and they do not shrink anymore, but I'm Still a little skeptical on trying their shirts out again.

Their swim suits fit rather well, no issues with those.
