The gentleman’s polo shirt.
Hello there,
As you might be aware, it is getting rather hot outside. This is due to science and something we colloquially refer to as the ‘seasons’.
So as we head towards summer the gentleman may find himself sweating up his shirts quicker than usual due to his active lifestyle and may want an alternative to ease the washing.
The answer comes in the form of the polo shirt, also known as the tennis shirt or golf shirt (all gentlemanly past times).
The original polo shirt was created by Rene Lacoste and was known then as the tennis shirt. He created it to give tennis players a break from the long-sleeved white shirt with tie combination that they had to play in.
Soon thereafter the sports of polo and golf adopted this design and thanks to Ralph Lauren we now know it as a polo shirt (good one Ralph).
Now, the polo shirt design is good for a gentleman during the hotter months due to it’s short sleeves and fabric that breaths easily.
So now you can retire some of your shirts for a while and say hello to the polo shirt.
Please note that a gentleman’s polo should not have designer tears on it, should not have patches stuck all over it, should not have any sort of insignia or paraphernalia on it at all except that of the maker’s mark.
If you are wearing a polo that has any of this on it, I’m afraid you may be a bogan.
So there you have it.

Dear reader,
We here at The Gentleman are not affiliated with any political persuasion. However I wouldn’t vote for someone who doesn’t properly wear a polo shirt.
Thank you for your feedback Mr. Stewart.
