A polo shirt has to work across settings — casual days, active hours, and smart-casual dress codes. Crew Clothing’s men’s polo shirts are made with that flexibility in mind. They come in different fits and fabrics, with colours drawn from the brand’s coastal style, and they are built to hold shape and colour through regular wear.

Everyday Wear: Piqué Cotton Polos
The piqué weave has a textured surface that allows airflow while keeping the shirt structured. This makes it suitable for all-day wear in mild to warm conditions. Collars are ribbed and reinforced to prevent curling, and sleeve cuffs retain their fit after washing.
Colours include navy, white, grey, and seasonal shades. The small crossed oars logo is stitched with tight embroidery for durability without being visually dominant.
Active Use: Jersey Cotton Polos
For golf, sailing, or warm-weather activity, jersey cotton polos offer a smoother feel and more stretch than piqué. The lighter weight keeps them cool, and side vents at the hem improve movement.
Some versions have contrast trims at the collar or placket. These give a sport-ready look without moving away from the core design language.
Smarter Settings: Dark, Structured Polos
Dark polos in navy, black, or forest green work under a blazer or with tailored trousers. The collars have interlining to maintain shape under layers. Slim fits create a clean line without excess fabric, suitable for office-casual or evening use.
Buttons are secured with reinforced stitching and lie flat to avoid catching on jackets.
Fabric and Construction
Piqué polos use a medium-weight weave for durability and breathability. Jersey polos use a tighter knit for a smoother finish. All seams are reinforced to reduce twisting and fraying over time.
Plackets are stitched cleanly, and buttonholes are cut to size so buttons sit flush. Embroidery is sharp, with no loose threads.
Fit Guide
- Regular fit: Straight through chest and waist; easy to layer over.
- Slim fit: Closer to the body for a sharper profile under jackets.
- Classic fit: More length and room in sleeves; traditional shape.
Selecting the right fit depends on use. Slim for smart, regular for active or casual, classic for relaxed settings.
Care Instructions
Wash inside out at a moderate temperature to reduce fading. Avoid high heat in dryers to prevent shrinkage and collar distortion. Steam or press collars for a sharp edge when worn under jackets.
Piqué polos benefit from reshaping while damp; jersey polos can be folded without creasing.
Real-World Examples
- City weekend: Regular-fit piqué polo in navy, paired with chinos and loafers.
- On the water: Jersey polo with shorts, dries quickly if exposed to spray.
- Work casual Friday: Slim-fit dark polo under a blazer with tailored trousers.
Each example shows the polo’s adaptability without needing separate wardrobes for different situations.
Durability Notes
Repeated washing does not cause pilling when care guidelines are followed. Ribbed cuffs keep shape after extended wear. Buttons remain tight; no re-stitching required under normal use. Collars stay flat and resist curl if stored correctly.
Crew Clothing’s men’s polo shirts deliver consistent fit, reliable build, and year-round versatility. With fabric and fit options, they work across casual, active, and smart-casual contexts. Careful construction and stable colours make them a practical, repeat-wear item rather than a seasonal purchase.
