My Mardi Gras polo from 2004 or so was finally in need of replacement (stains, faded, collar shitty from years of Mardi Gras abuse)

I believe it was $40 when I bought that one. New one was $80. Awful stitching, weird fit unlike the old one, shittier rougher feeling cotton.

Prob just get a dryfit mardi gras polo next time

And that ends my FB/twatter rant for the day

The one I have from back in the day shrunk so much to the point where I couldn’t tuck it in.

Perlis shirts feel like a brown paper bag compared to most modern polos. And cost as much or more. Go get you a Rhoback polo for almost the same price

They take vanity sizing to a whole new level. I’m usually a large in most brands of shirt. My XS perlis mardi gras is baggy on me.

The fratty 30-35 year old white guy who works at the Mandeville store is a huge lazy douche bag and makes me want to go there as little as possible with his horrible attitude.

I brought a friend once to make sure it wasn’t me and she said “no, he must be related to the manager or owner because he is insufferable.”

I tried to buy their stuff, none of their shirts fit worth a shite

In fact I have no idea who they do fit. Boxy as hell and fit like a tarp

Perlis stuff doesnt last. I notice most of the polos I get from there end up with holes in the armpit or shoulder. Or where the crawfish is

Agreed.. I have been shopping there for most of my life, and it's really gone downhill. I had Mr. Perlis order me a 20 yr.supply of Sear Sucker boxer shorts (my wife and my Mummsie loved them!), and went I went to make another order, they had the gall to ask me fora credit card and refused to put it on my account. When I relayed this story to my friends at the Boston Club, they nearly spit-out their Henry IV Dudgnon! The only thing that I could find there that I liked was a birthday shirt for Rufus, my life long loyal caddie at the New Orleans County Club. He just turned eighty and he's having a little trouble lifting the golf bag these days. Good old Rufus!

Rhoback really is the ultimate polo. It’s pricey, but they fit remarkably well and are breathable.

It feels like you’re wearing a 20lb terry cloth with the Perlis polos. Definitely need to size down with them. Haven’t bought one in about 10 years.

perlis polos are fit for the very short and morbidly obese. i guess it makes sense.

I haven't bought any perlis stuff recently, but I have a few shirts and belt that are about 20 years old. The belt is my daily belt and the shirt I wear once a week and they're all perfect.

I wore a Perlis half zip Mardi Gras fleece today on the route, and it got a lot of compliments. Perlis has dressing rooms, so I'm not sure why people are buying wrong sized clothing there.

Perlis also has good LSU swag, but get it early in the season, it will be sold out by late September.
