I'll preface this by saying i wasnt blessed with average height. But every store i go in the smalls even dwarf me. I can wear mediums or larges in tshirts but when it comes to polo's i cant even fit in a small. That just seems insane to me. The XL's look like they would only fit Manute Bol.


Can anyone suggest a store that actually sells normal sized LSU polos. I'm picky about my tastes too, the plainer the shirt the better.

Alumni Hall at Perkins Rowe. Their selection is fantastic.

That being said, sizing is just stupid. I wear XL in most shirts. The difference in sizing in just the Nike polo variations is ridiculous. The gameday polos fit completely different than the golf polos. The Ping polos are different, and the C&B are different.

I used to be a skinny fella myself. The nike polos will shrink after a few washes and fit nicely

ETA: The small polos would look huge on me at the store but would eventually be a good fit.

Now the smalls fit perfect at the store but don't fit after a few washes. Learned that the hard way

Try academy.

What brand are you looking at normally? Nike and Adidas differ in sizes

They're long because you're supposed to tuck them in.

Plebs...

Try Polos Custom Fit smalls or Boys XL (18-20). Polo outlet in Gonzales has a good bit of custom fit stuff

I wear a small regular fit and the custom fits are too small for me.

I hear ya, I'm in the same boat myself. I've got one Nike dry fit LSU polo that for some reason seams to be a bit smaller than most. I've stuck with it but I need a new one and just can't find one small enough.

I am 5'10" 165lbs. with broad shoulders.... that said, best fitting LSU polo I've purchased to date is the Cutter and Buck LSU men's DryTec polo. Fits great! Got it from wherewhodatsshop.com. They are out of Slidell.

If you can find a shop that does custom LSU stuff, you can have a very nice polo made. I would highly suggest a Mizuno dry lite polo. The sizes are as they should be, and the shirts are a very high quality. The small is actually a small.

Need LSU clothes for small men??

Try looking in Saban's closet. No way he tossed them.

I don't have a problem with size. I'm annoyed by the fact that the trend is going away from cotton polos to that poly blend stuff. It is almost impossible to find LSU cotton polos these days.
