Rodd & Gunn The Gunn Original Fit Polo Adriatic XL

Marked sizes all different. Online at R&G bought exactly the same polo marked exactly the same sizes and they were totally different. Went to their Hobart store where they attempted to make my wife feel like a criminal, they reluctantly sent it back - have never heard another thing. Amateur hour.

The polo was a gift for my 82 year old father - has always been very particular about clothes. To say he loved it was an understatement. The quality, colour and cut of the shirt was exceptional, and the packaginggl and delivery time was unbelievable. It's become his new favourite and he'll be hopping online for more purchases.

Wearing it from the shelf the collar and cut is presentable and more formal than a standard t-shirt. Arm elastic is not too imposing. The straight cut around more relaxed stomach areas, ahem, may need you to take a size above what you would normally for more comfort, although the shoulders may then be a bit baggy. The weave weight is great for autumn or cooler days, especially when combined with a light jacket. It is less ideal for lots of physical activity in warmer weather. I chose the darker black option but I've not had it long enough to ascertain colour fastness, especially with line drying in sunlight. The gunn dog logo is a good size and well placed, and the added comfort of not having a chest pocket is appreciated. The length was OK but close to being a bit ... MoreWearing it from the shelf the collar and cut is presentable and more formal than a standard t-shirt. Arm elastic is not too imposing.

The length was OK but close to being a bit short if you prefer untucked and want to raise your arms up - again maybe only a problem for those with more relaxed stomachs!
