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

maybe if i was able to shrink it. but that seems like quite the investment for something that may fit.

if the sleeve goes past the elbow i wont wear it.

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...
