Polo shirts, explained properly
Fabric blends, garment lengths and size ranges taken from the brand’s own product page — so you can tell a 6.5 oz piqué from a 4 oz jersey before you buy, and wash it without ruining the collar.
Three ways in
Whether you are buying your first decent polo or trying to rescue one you already own.

Every number here comes from the brand, not from me
I read the fabric blend, weight in ounces, garment length and size range off the manufacturer's own product page and write them down before the shirt gets discussed. Nothing is estimated, rounded up, or carried across from a similar style.
Where a brand does not publish a figure, the guide says so instead of filling the gap with a guess. There is no team here — it is one person who would rather leave a visible hole than invent a number you might act on.
