| Grandiosity is a sign of mental illness |
It's necro time! I was reminded of this thread, because my most recent Eddie Bauer polos have all been shrinking a lot. Much more than they ever used to. The batch I wrote about in my last post shrank so bad, as an experiment the next time I encountered a sale I bought a few more- except I used to buy Large-Tall and this time I bought XL-Tall. The new XL-Talls shrank a lot, which means they now fit great. I've been wearing Eddie Bauer polos for what, 15 years or so? They're cotton, which shrinks. But for most of that time, they didn't shrink much. The most recent ones shrink like *crazy*. | |||

In non-tech wear, the regular classic ones from Ralph Lauren / Polo have outlasted most every other brand I've tried. I have a few that are 20+ years old and in perfect shape. These are the heavier cotton ones that have a texture to them, not the lighter, smoother, softer ones. | |||

Apologies if mentioned... St. John's Bay polos from JC Penney. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

I have a Polo brand golf shirt that is in navy and made from totally synthetic fibers and on the thin side. It is AMAZING, after at least 20 washes it still looks brand new, feels great, and is just awesome material. Denali also makes some really nice ones. | |||

I have a ton of Greg Norman polos because Costco sold them cheap. Good quality. I bought one Costco Kirkland brand shirt...and that's the last one I'll buy. -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

I have three UnderArmor and two 5.11. I like the UnderArmor feel better, but if they get stained, it'll never come out. | |||

Too clever by half |
I agree with most of this, however, golf shirts are generally more fitted these days, and in some cases very fitted, so you'll need to try them on. I used to buy 100% cotton, but the synthetics just plain perform on every level. My favorites include spandex in the blend and, as a result, have a lot of stretch in the fabric making them incredibly comfortable. Adidas, Nike, and Cutter & Buck are my favorites brands. Never had much luck with UA, generally too sheer and shiny, or Greg Norman, which don't hold their shape well after a few washings. As for price, I resist buying in pro shops, and have good luck on Amazon and Ebay at a fraction of the cost.
