Michel Rouen Men's Quick-Dry Long Sleeve Polo, colony blue heather

The long sleeve to take when the tee time is early. Twelve heather colourways, a three-button placket, a collar cut not to curl and side slits at the hem so it moves with a swing rather than pulling out of the waistband.

It is thin, which is the point: this goes under a quarter zip on a cold start and comes out from under it by the turn without either layer bunching. Polyester with spandex, UPF 30+ on the label, S to 3XL. The cuff sits close at the wrist rather than loose, and that is the reason men who play in long sleeves keep coming back to a knit polo instead of a woven shirt. A loose cuff is what catches on a glove strap.

One of 3 on the long sleeve polos rail in the Michel Rouen catalogue. It also answers to long sleeve 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.
