When you buy a polo shirt from a company so renowned for them they have "polo" in their branding, it had better be good. Thankfully, this is. The cut and fit are great: although marked as slim fit, I'm not of an athletic build and didn't feel uncomfortable or tightly wrapped. In fact, the fit feels more like a "tailored" (i.e. half way between slim and normal). Other than that, the manufacture appears great. Expensive, of course, but worth it as a treat.

Very disappointed with the cut! Ordered a medium slim fit! The shirt was very baggy around the waist! I measured and found the chest was 42 inches which is what I expected but the waist measurement was 40 inches! How can that be slim fit!
