Well personally I liked the shot because a) it's a great picture, b) she obviously knows what she's doing in front of a camera, c) the shirt looks really good on her, d) she's put together a great look that works for her AND maximises the look of the polo.

I also liked Willyto's pictures... What does that mean?

Simon, how much do they shrink after washing them? I think just a bit of shrinking might be good.

I'm not sure about the fit. How does it look to your eyes?



Excuse the poor photography, it's raining a lot outside so crappy pictures.

The lady looks stunning!

I think the size is right for you and looks good. A smaller size may have issues with the neck when fully buttoned, it looks just right now.

Well, "variatio delectat" as they say, although one really can't get enough of pictures of middle aged men in snappy clothes!

Looking good willyto! I'm wondering if I'm going to roll up the sleeves a bit when mine arrives, easier than building bigger "guns"!

[SJC]

They will shrink 10% you will be fine. Love the fit.

Just received mine, after a bit of trouble with the postal service.

I know I will be wearing these to threads...

The medium sized polos actually fitted more loosely than I expected them to do, I guess the smaller size would have worked too. Here is how it looks on my 38'' chest:





Cheers!

Great shots Nat.  God damn you're a handsome bastard.  Yes a hot wash will knock out 10%, you will see.

They look great Sean, so versatile.  I can really see why the cream (which standing here I'm wearing) sold so well.

So while giving my blue polo it's first wash today, I checked the washing instructions label and found this cheeky fella : -

I´m still waiting for my Polo to arrive...

After washing one of the cream polos they definetely shrink so for those who feel they're a bit baggy don't worry about it.

Can you post before and after fit pics Willyto? I'd like to see the difference.

What temperature did you wash it on?

[SJC]

PM'd Pat.

I will do proper pictures tomorrow so you can all compare with the current ones in the thread.

I washed it on cold temperature which is before the 40ºC setting on my washing machine. I don't know exact temperature but you get the idea.

[Nik]

"Cold temperature" machine wash can be as low as 15 celsius, but usually it means 30 degrees I think. The polos wash well up to 40 celsius in any event, it's pretty rugged stuff.

[Sean Longden]

Mine was washed at 60, I think. No problems at all.

I'm wearing my navy one today (the red and the green are off to beijing with me on Monday, where they'll certainly be tested well for coping with extreme heat. It's going to be something insane out there (well over thirty degrees celsius). It's a snug fit, but not too much so, just right. Im' hoping it doesn't shrink up too much too quickly. For now it's perffect - not too small, but also once I shift some weightg and am less of a fat bastard than I am now, it still won't be far too big. Found the buttons easier to fasten than I'd anticipated they would be too. So far, lovely feel to it.
