I don’t wear their Hawaiian shirts but their polos are great quality. Only issues I’ve ever had is eventual pit stains after years of wear.

You wearing polos to the gym? Why you sweating so much baw?

I am looking for some nice polos with a more tailored fit.. I hate when I buy a MEDIUM polo and it ends up fitting like a damn dress. I also hate the polos with the white dotted trim around the shoulders and buttons. Just want some plain damn colors that fit nicely... and are reasonably priced. The last few polos I bought were Jos. A. Bank and the Mediums fit terribly. I still wear them if I have a jacket over but pretty much never wear it by itself since the sleeves go down to my elbows basically.

And it would look stupid as frick and obviously be low quality shite. I wouldn’t pay $150 for one of these but I wouldn’t wear Walmart shite either


And exactly zero people would notice. I have never looked at another man's attire and thought he has some poor quality clothing on. Exclude obviously trashy people from this, like typical walmart shoppers. In an office setting, you will see men with $150+ shirts on and men with $30+ walmart/target shirts on. I can't tell the difference and don't ever think about it.

The only places that I would wear a Hawaiian shirt, it would be the cheap one from walmart, or I just wouldn't wear a Hawaiian shirt

It sounds like you should be going to a tailor. Look for discounted larger shirts and spend the "savings" at the tailor. Or take the shirt you like with the sleeves that are too long and get it fixed. You will end up wearing it more often when it fits right.

Get bonobos - more modern / younger looking fit and about half the price. Also owned by the good folks at Wal Mart

I like the Perlis performance polos. I have to size down to a medium because their shirts run big. The only problem is they have a big selection and the sell out pretty quick. Their regular cotton polos fit like shite.

I’ve gotten more compliments on this $50 shirt than any of my actual expensive clothes




I might just have shitty taste in expensive clothes though

High overhead due to dedicated TB retail stores in high end retail malls

I find them to be too similar,repetitive, they all look the same.

One is good,

I think it's one of those never pay full price brands.


This. Either visit the Dillard’s outlet at the Esplanade, or get on their mailing list so they’ll send you $50 and $75 off cards.
