Michel Rouen Men's Quick-Dry Polo Shirt, blue

A plain pique knit in ten colours, and the shirt to start with if you have never worn one of ours. There is nothing on it to date: solid body, three-button placket, a collar cut not to curl, a split at the side seam so it moves. Blue, brick, navy, white, beryl green, black, lavender, dark grey, olive green and sky blue.

Pique is the textured knit a polo has been made from for a century, and here it is polyester and spandex rather than cotton, and that is why it comes out of a bag without a crease and dries between the ninth and the car. The label carries UPF 30+. Regular fit, S to 3XL. This is the cut people buy first and then buy again in the colour they wish they had ordered.

One of 10 on the polo shirts rail in Michel Rouen pieces. It also answers to golf polos, upf golf shirts, dry fit polos. A size letter describes the garment rather than your body, so measure your chest once and hold the figure against the chart on the buying page. The UPF figure describes dry, unstretched cloth, and you lose part of it when the shirt is soaked through or pulled tight. If you find a figure here that disagrees with the piece in your hands, tell us: how we keep them current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
